Development is the law of life and this applies to the Higher as well as to the Lower Evolution. As living beings - we are alive, we want to grow, we want to develop because what every living thing, what every living being, wants to do most of all is to fulfill the law of its own being, and the law of our being is - as it is the law of the being of every living thing – that we should develop. So we want to fulfill that law of our own being, we want to develop and actualize our deepest potential.

Learning The Truth

If we have no satisfactory teacher, then we should take the teachings of Buddha (i.e. Dhamma) and practice it in our life. Buddha’s teaching, when rightly understood and followed, will bring welfare and happiness for a long time. There are numerous teachings of Buddha on each and every aspects of life. Buddhas teaching was based on his own observation of the way things are really are. His teachings (Dhamma) can be checked and verified by any person irrespective of any caste, religion, man or women, any time, any place. Buddhas teaching are very noble and their practice will leads todays world to peace and harmony.
Some of them are
Mangala Sutta -- Great Discourse on Blessings (A guide for life's journey)
Sigalovada Sutta --- Code of discipline for a common man.
Kalama Sutta --- Encouragement of free inquiry
Karaniya Metta Sutta ---Loving Kindness Discourse

We will be discussing these 4 suttas in the coming days one by one. The main aim will be comparing these suttas with the current situation of todays world. Each suttas will be disscussed for 15 to 30 days in details. Everyone from all over are invited to participate, they can post comments or write article based on the current topics.
