Ehipassiko - Come and See
The Buddha's teaching is welcoming and open to investigate. It is a discovery of the Buddha with great effort throughout meditation and he confirms that what he found and explained to the world is existing at all time. He realized and showed the same thing for others to realize and embrace liberation. Simply he teaches a way to love, compassion and wisdom. Come and see whether this is true to your experience.
May All Beings Be Well, Happy and Peaceful!
