How Buddhism is being used to guide the followers?
Answers
Every action we do with mind (thinking ), body (seeing, listening, feeling, actions) and mouth (words) leading to karma (good or bad) which in turn leads to our re-birth.
Therefore we have to do good deeds and only good to shorten our journey, life after life in many forms which is a suffering.
To let go suffering we need to let go our greed (for everything), which is not easy.
By doing meditation you will be able to tame your uncontrollable mind to realize how to let go your greed.
When you let go of your greed and realize truth you will attain “Nibbana” which is a state whereby you end your rebirth and suffering.
Load Buddha has attained Nibbana and no more in existence in any form. Only his teachings remain with us to find the path towards truth.
