HAND BOOK FOR MANKIND

Why were we born?
What are we living for?
Where is the value and meaning in life?
Summing up Buddhism is an organized
practical system designed to reveal to us the what is
what. Once we have seen thing as they really are
we no longer need anyone to teach or guide us.
We can carry on practising by ourselves. One
progresses along the Ariyan Path just as rapidly as
one eliminates the defilements and gives up
inappropriate action. Ultimately one will attain to the
best thing possible for a human being what we call
the Fruit of the Path Nirvana. This one can do by
oneself simply by means of coming to know the
ultimate sense of the what is what.
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
