Buddhism

My uncle is a Tibetan Buddhist scholar. He teaches at the University of Central Michigan. My favorite thing on his website is this article. It was written by David Lloyd and is his Buddhist response to the 9/11 attacks.

"This dualism of good-versus-evil is attractive because it is a simple way of
looking at the world. And most of us are quite familiar with it. Although
it is not unique to the Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam - it is especially important for them. It is one of the reasons why
the conflicts among them have been so difficult to resolve peacefully:
adherents tend to identify their own religion as good and demonize the other
as evil."

Four noble truths
1. Life means suffering.
2. The origin of suffering is attachment.
3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.
4. The path to the cessation of suffering.
