Neither a Faith Nor a Belief


Buddhism is neither a faith nor a belief; it is a way of life to be experimented with and experienced, to be followed and practised in the world we live in, here and now. It is a vast and complete system of ethic-philosophical and psychological teaching based on a highly scientific and analytical method, going deep into all aspects of human life. It is a Path that leads man gradually through his own moral, spiritual and intellectual discipline and development, to the highest realization of the Absolute Truth, Nirvana.

---Venerable Dr. Walpola Rahula---
