Buddhism is Life

Buddhism is life.
Life is change.
Change happens ready or not.
Buddhism is fascinating.

    You could say that many teachings are fascinating, they are all lenses through which to see the ever-changing mystery that is life. But I think Buddhism is something that contributes to wisdom. It started with the Theosophists, this very slow diffusion of eastern wisdom and techniques through the west.

    And now we can see that there are ever more Western-flavoured incarnations of Eastern wisdom arriving. Mindfulness, secular Buddhism, and so on are versions of Eastern ideas from which the west benefits. This co-mingling means western ideas go east (look at China and Japan) and eastern ideas go west (theosophy, Thich Nhat Hanh, Stephen Batchelor and many others).

    So yes, change is always happening.
