It's a philosophical way of living life. To study Buddhism you don't need to believe in something extreme. It's a matter of investigating, examining and experimenting on yourself. It's not just belief. Without understanding, belief can be dangerous. Lord Buddha emphasized understanding is the path to liberation, knowledge is the path to liberation." LAMA YESHE"The practice of religion, spirituality or Dharma has to be a method that completely destroys all suffering, a method that brings about the complete cessation of suffering and not just temporarily. That depends upon completely eradicating the root of all the billions of sufferings that exist-ignorance and all the other delusions that spring from the root of ignorance. True peace is received whenever we completely eradicate this root of suffering. Cessation of ignorance, attachment and anger is real freedom, true peace-the peace that never changes; the peace that once received can never change, is everlasting." LAMA ZOPA RINPOCHE
