Buddhism is the enlightenment cycle, as I said before.  It's about becoming enlightened.  The essential premise of buddhism is that there is enlightenment, there is nirvana.  Beyond this world, beyond all worlds, there is something radiant, perfect and eternal.  It creates these worlds and all aggregate formations.  At the same time, it is beyond them.  We call it nirvana.  We could call it anything you wanted to: God, the Tao, Brahma -- whatever you prefer -- God.  The names don't matter. It is that eternal reality which nothing can describe, it's beyond words.  Buddhism, yoga, is a practice. It's a way of yoking or joining your mind to that eternal reality and at the same time viewing this world, and all worlds, as particles of that reality.

 

Buddhism is about living a very grounded, happy, fun life; being energized and being good at everything that you do and getting better constantly.  It's about utilizing the full power of your mind, body, and spirit, your emotions -- everything -- to enjoy life, to experience its multifaceted sides.
