Buddhism is a philosophy which is centered on awakening from suffering and achieving mindfulness through ethical conduct, meditation and insight into the nature of reality. Moreover, Buddhism teaches love, kindness, compassion and freedom, and a man can search for his inner dimension of life. It helps man to live in positivity, freedom and self- exploration. It helps every individual to understand the meaning of life and existence through individual awareness rather than believing in words. So, one can search the meanings of his existence, understanding the dynamism of life and its movements. Life, therefore, offers multiple possibility of observing the ever-changing pattern of nature and existence, so that a man can liberate himself to higher realms of life.
