Buddha in our Daily Life

There is sufficient material wealth in the world today, but there is no real peace and security. Something must be lacking. What is lacking is loving-kindness and goodwill amongst mankind. Ignorance and delusion, according to Buddha, are at the root of the problem. Life is in a constant state of flux. Nothing stays the same. The four sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, and death are eternal aspects of life from which no one can escape. The Buddha sees existence as a series of pains, many of which are self-created.
