Since the beginning of time, humans have spent much time and energy improving external conditions in their search for happiness. We have looked for solutions to our problems. Instead of being able to find peace and happiness, human suffering has continued to increase.

When things go wrong and we encounter challenges in our lives, we tend to see the situation as the problem. Actually, the problems we encounter come from our mind. If we could respond to our problems in a positive or peaceful mind, we might grow to view them as opportunities for growth. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. To be free from problems, we must learn to control our mind. To do this, call upon Buddha.

Buddha is easier to feel than to hear. Buddha can help you find inner peace, balance and moderation in all things. Buddha can assist you at looking within through meditation. With Buddha’s help you can begin to understand your life lessons and the many different opportunities of growth.

Buddha lived both extremes of life – one as a rich prince and the other as an ascetic. Through these two extremes, he came to realize that balance and moderation are the keys to a happy life.
