"When people were lost in the
forest of belief that liberation can be achieved by going to special places, reciting special mantras, performing special ceremonies, that time, the LORD BUDDHA came to discover and preach this very simple message that, giving up self-interest, spreading kindness to all beings, from the heart.
Liberation is only achieved by the destruction of desire;
Not by going to any place, or bathing in water, or making oblations in fire, or chanting mantras. This is very simple talk's to hear, but to discover this spiritual word, a prince (SIDDHARTHA GAUTAMA) had to leave his kingdom and wander through deep forests and paths. "
So, The Buddha, the Enlightened One, was often approached by people of different views. To them he would say, "Let us set aside our differences. Let us give attention to what we can agree on, and let us put it into practice Dhamma life."
