“Buddha’s teachings are scientific methods to solve the problems of all living beings permanently. ... For Buddhists, faith in Buddha Shakyamuni is their spiritual life; it is the root of all Dharma realizations. If we have deep faith in Buddha we shall naturally develop the strong wish to practise his teachings. With this wish we shall definitely apply effort in our Dharma practice, and with strong effort we shall accomplish permanent liberation from the suffering of this life and countless future lives.”

There can be no doubt concerning the cxistence of the person who advocated the unique thought that we attribute to him.”
― Hajime Nakamura, Gotama Buddha
