The way things are
So, what is Buddhism? Buddha used the best description himself. During the 1,500 years the teachings existed in India, they were called Dharma, and for the last 1,000 years in Tibet, the name was Chö. Both mean “the way things are”. Understanding “the way things are” is the key to every happiness. Buddha himself is both teacher, example, protector and friend. His help allows being to avoid suffering and to enter a state of increasing bliss while also liberating and enlightening others.
