I have always been interested in Buddhism. After studying it for a semester I have found an even greater interest in the religion, but more so for the teachings and wisdom of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha then anything else. To simplify the story, Buddha was a prince, who wanted nothing of the richness of the family and ventured out and saw four things: a hermit, an old man, a diseased person, and a dead body. This led Buddha to believe that life was a circle of suffering and he gave up the comforts of home and decided to explore the world and learn. He turned to meditation and during once such time sat under the Bodhi tree and looked for the truth of life.....
Yes, I have made a intense and interesting story way to abbreviated, but you get the message. The symbolism of the Bodhi tree is what I am using here in my blog, a place where I can sit and think of life and all the many lessons it has to teach me and with that share with you my friends. But no worries, life lessons need not be sad, depressing or the like, they can be more often than not made of happiness and peace and laughter. Welcome.
