What can we learn from Buddhism? The Dalai Lama said, “The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility and forgiveness.” I do not think about Buddhism as a replacement for my personal religious beliefs, but I feel that its philosophical approach can add an important dimension to everyday life. In general terms, Buddhists place importance on personal spiritual development. They study the meaning of life, inner peace and elimination of suffering.
