The Buddha recognized a deeper truth—that all the material aid in the world cannot prevent aging, sickness, and death.

Shakyamuni Buddha, who lived 2,600 years ago, was once an ordinary being just like us.

In all of his teachings—given over 40 years—the Buddha never commanded his followers to do anything.

And yet how interesting that even though the Buddha had a unique ability to live in this suffering free cocoon of incessant pleasure with his every need met, it was only in breaking out that he was freed.

Throughout the sutras—the recorded teachings of the Buddha—we see that, again and again, the Buddha discouraged displays of miracles.

I don't know any historian of note who has the slightest that Muhammad existed, and I'm not aware of any who doubt the historicity of Buddha either.

Jesus was not a patriot. His anti-establishment non-violence seems pretty clear: turn the other cheek, love your enemies, do good to those who harm you, put away your sword, etc.
