How to Follow the Buddha

How to Follow the Buddha

This is a guide to following the teachings of Buddha and the Dharma to become a Sangha.

To understand the Buddha's teachings, you need to know two things. First, you need to know what the teaching is trying to achieve. Second, it's important to know how to ask questions.
The point of teaching is to help people find their way in life, not to be a goal in itself. The main idea of the historical teachings left by Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha, was that his words were a practical way to help people. He thought that it was more important to put these ideas into action than to worship them.

The Buddha taught that just repeating his words as if they were mere philosophy or worship doesn't show their true value. The Dhamma is like a raft that you can use to cross water. When you get to the other side, you don't carry the raft on your back. 

True respect is shown by doing what is right. As often said in the Buddhist tradition, "The person who follows my teaching the best helps me the most." 

The Spirit of Inquiry is to Test the Words. The well-known idea of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha), who told his followers not to just believe him without question, but to think about his words like a goldsmith thinking about gold. The Buddha told his students to try out his teachings for themselves, instead of just taking them on faith. 

Teachings are a tool, not something to worship. To really understand something, you need to look closely at your own mind and see what is true for you. 

You won't understand what 'dharma' really means if you aren't open-minded.
