just realized another great insight into the Buddha himself, and Buddhism, I have finally realized why its not a religion, such as those that exist now, nowhere does the Buddha saw follow me, or that he was right, though with wisdom, and practice one begins to realize how right the great Buddha was, and will always be, never interested in ceremonies, traditions, or religious festivals, but only in the way the world and life is, the truth doesn’t need to be believed, it’s the truth, the truth is known, because it is and always will be the way of life, I now have gone beyond belief, but know the Buddha was, and will always be right, my investigation is finally over HOORAY……………………..
it has taken me not only my whole life to finally find the way back to the eight fold path, but with my investigation which began about six years ago has finally succeeded, and a great burden lifted from my mind and body, the Buddha did not teach a religion, but the truth as it is, and the method for enlightenment, which can be attained by any who follow no matter what religion, but one doesn’t also need to become a monk or a nun to attain, though this is obviously the easiest way to attain liberation, as all external factors are removed, and one has finally let go of all worldly desires and delusions, the truth doesn’t change, and is timeless, I now know Buddha and his teachings which have been named Buddhism but need not be labelled as such, as the Buddha himself was not interested in labels, but the truth which is like the sun shinning down, and all around, one doesn’t believe the sun is yellow, or that grass is green, but knows it to be, there is a big difference, but can only be found for me, by the road I have been upon, and the investigation in which I undertook, not knowing where it lead me, and still not knowing where I will end up, but my confidence is steadily growing, and when all weaknesses arise and fears, I know it is the mind and if I continue I will break its hold, and the wall of delusion, but I still have far far far more places to travel,………………………………

In the Garden of Solitude
