My journey has spanned many years, many books, and many miles traveled, four thousand to be exact. I sometimes imagine my journey is made some way by all of humankind, an effort we all share to correlate our beliefs within the parameters of authenticated history and science. While I was never a Church goer, I do not believe in nor do I practice religion. I accept that we all have our own perceptions, and it certainly isn't my place to point a finger and say who is right or wrong. There is no right or wrong. All paths lead to the same beginning.
Along my journey I sought answers, not in any major world religion, as I didn't believe Christianity had anything to offer. I was especially drawn to the Eastern faiths of Taoism and Buddhism by way of Wayne Dyer.
At my deepest core, I somehow knew their to be truth in the concepts of Karma and reincarnation and that did not seem to be part of Christianity.

It is through experience that you become wise. I have experienced the fundamental laws of Buddhism when I left California and moved to South Carolina.
I recognized the existence of suffering by understanding how I was manifesting it myself. Once you know the truth, see the truth, then the truth shall set you free. You begin to see lies everywhere. The illusion fades away.
I also recognize that suffering itself is based on ignorance....the clinging to the illusion that the world and existence itself has concrete tangibility. All of my suffering was relieved through spiritual practice, which brings about the dissolution of ignorance.
You can't be spiritual and ignorant.

All of the above I have experienced on my spiritual journey, and I attest to the fundamental message that Buddhism teaches. Once you reach a certain path of wisdom, light...enlightenment, you then can transcend the realms of suffering.
Don't worry....be happy.
There’s something about the inherent tolerance of Buddhism that is inherently attractive. It’s totally non-judgmental.
There’s no notion of sin, there’s no notion of good and evil, there’s only ignorance and suffering. And this is the most important thing, it places all emphasis on compassion; you do not embrace negativity.

Buddhism asks the fundamental question: What is life and what is the point of existence?
Wade Davis goes on an anthropological and spiritual journey into the Himalayas of Nepal to learn the deepest lesson of Buddhist practice.
