For the Buddhist Seeker

The For the Buddhist section is in development.

Are you a Buddhist, or are you considering the teachings of Buddhism as a life path? If so, I want to welcome you to this section of my website: For the Buddhist Seeker.

I want to talk with you about something you may already know from experience. A great many Buddhists secretly struggle with their beliefs. This section of this website will help struggling Buddhists find answers to their questions about the nature of reality, eternity, and humanity. If you are a person who is considering Buddhism, this section may help you with a carefully considered perspective of Buddhism.

The Buddhist as a True Seeker

If there is group of people that might be described as "seekers," then Buddhists must be high on the list. Buddhism, as a system, requires its adherent to be devoted to exploring a set of principles that will earn him or her an enlightened state and lead to the end of suffering—a noble and worthwhile goal. Those who explore the Buddhist path are taught concepts such as: The Middle Way, Samsara, The Four Noble Truths, and others.

Yet on a practical, day-to-day level, many Buddhists inwardly struggle. They feel spiritually empty, as if the practices they engage in provide some temporary satisfaction or guidance, but when over, the emptiness or futility remains. While they pursue the path they are taught the Buddha has lain out, they secretly wonder about the reality of the Buddha's teachings. Being taught that they will experience many rebirths until finally reaching their objective, they cannot help but wonder, "Will this truly end my suffering? How can I know that what I am doing really works?"

For the Buddhist Seeker is written for the Buddhist who is interested in exploring other ways of existence.

This section will attempt to compare Buddhist principles to the teachings of the Bible and Jesus Christ in hopes of helping you, the Buddhist seeker, discover a different kind of enlightenment—one that can be fully experienced and realized in this life, right now, without the need for what may seem like a tumultuous cycle of rebirth.

In this section we will very briefly consider the Buddhist and Christian teachings on:

• The World Around Us 
• The Seen and the Unseen
• The Middle Way and The High Way, and
• Experiencing Truth

Then we will present a short presentation called: Four Higher Truths.

Thank you for visiting this site. I pray you will find the answers you seek.
