Image
Buddhism is the process of getting to that part of us that is always eternally happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Buddhism isn't about temples, and incense, and shaved heads, and robes. It's not about church. There are aspects of Buddhism that involve that. People enjoy that, it helps them, it strengthens their practice.
