Buddhism is a practice in which we learn to avoid injuring others and ourselves. It's a practice in which we learn to respond to beauty and to respond to difficult circumstances with a sense of patience, with a sense of calm, with clarity, because we know we've lived before and we know we will always live, in one lifetime or another, because you experience that in meditation. That knowledge comes to you, that power. We're not really afraid of things. We're not afraid of death. We're not afraid of life. Needless to say, there are always people who will give you a hard time because you're a buddhist, or because you're an 'anything'. WE live in a world that is extremely dogmatic. And people don't understand. People on the earth are fairly simple, to be honest with you, they are still killing in wars and polluting their planet and yelling at each other and shooting each other, so how far along could they be? - "Buddhism" from the Enlightenment Series
