Buddhism explained for beginners
Buddhism teaches that the solutions to our problems are within ourselves not outside. The Buddha asked all his followers not to take his word as true, but rather to test the teachings for themselves. ln this way, each person decides for themselves and takes responsibility for their own actions and understanding.

How to Practice Buddhism – The Beginner’s Guide
What is Buddhism?
First, let’s take a brief look at what Buddhism actually is. Buddhism began with Siddhartha Gautama, a man born in modern-day Nepal about 2500 years ago. Now known as the Buddha, this man investigated awakening and discovered the ultimate truth, nirvana.
Buddhism is seen as a way of life by some, a philosophy by others, and a religion by many. We covered this issue in our post Is Buddhism a Religion?, but the point is this: Buddhism is a nontheistic tradition. That is, there is no emphasis on a creator or specific deity. However, traditional Buddhist scriptures are full of mentions of deities and gods.
Although meditation is often seen as the main practice of Buddhists in popular culture, it is but one piece of the Buddha’s teachings. In Tricycle’s great piece 10 Misconceptions about Buddhism, they discuss the fact that most Buddhist throughout history have not meditated. There are many more factors on the path and pieces to living a wholesome life than just meditating once or twice a day.

About Buddha • Kadampa Meditation Center New York
In general, “Buddha” means “Awakened One,” someone who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and sees things as they really are. A Buddha is a person who is completely free from all faults and mental obstructions. There are many people who have become Buddhas in the past, and many people will become Buddhas in the future.
There is nothing that Buddha does not know. Because he has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and has removed all obstructions from his mind, he knows everything of the past, present, and future, directly and simultaneously.
Moreover, Buddha has great compassion which is completely impartial, embracing all living beings without discrimination. He benefits all living beings without exception by emanating various forms throughout the universe, and by bestowing his blessings on their minds. Through receiving Buddha’s blessings, all beings, even the lowliest animals, sometimes develop peaceful and virtuous states of mind.

Through receiving Buddha’s blessings, all beings, even the lowliest animals, sometimes develop peaceful and virtuous states of mind.
Eventually, through meeting an emanation of Buddha in the form of a Spiritual Guide, everyone will have the opportunity to enter the path to liberation and enlightenment. As the great Indian Buddhist scholar Nagarjuna said, there is no one who has not received help from Buddha.
It is impossible to describe all the good qualities of a Buddha. A Buddha’s compassion, wisdom, and power are completely beyond conception. With nothing left to obscure his mind, he sees all phenomena throughout the universe as clearly as he sees a jewel held in the palm of his hand.

Through the force of his or her compassion, a Buddha spontaneously does whatever is appropriate to benefit others. He has no need to think about what is the best way to help living beings – he naturally and effortlessly acts in the most beneficial way. Just as the sun does not need to motivate itself to radiate light and heat but does so simply because light and heat are its very nature, so a Buddha does not need to motivate himself to benefit others but does so simply because being beneficial is his very nature.
Like the reflections of the moon that effortlessly appear in any body of still water, a Buddha’s emanations spontaneously appear wherever living beings’ minds are capable of perceiving them. Buddhas can emanate in any form whatsoever to help living beings.
Sometimes they manifest as Buddhists and sometimes as non-Buddhists. They can manifest as women or men, monarchs or tramps, law-abiding citizens or criminals. They can even manifest as animals, as wind or rain, or as mountains or islands. Unless we are a Buddha ourself we cannot possibly say who or what is an emanation of a Buddha.

Of all the ways in which a Buddha helps living beings, the supreme way is by emanation as a Spiritual Guide. Through his or her teachings and immaculate example, an authentic Spiritual Guide leads his or her disciples along the spiritual path to liberation and enlightenment.
If we meet a qualified Mahayana Spiritual Guide and put into practice everything he or she teaches, we shall definitely attain full enlightenment and become a Conqueror Buddha. We shall then be in a position to repay the kindness of all living beings by liberating them from the sufferings of samsara and leading them to the supreme bliss of Buddhahood.

Buddhism for Beginners
Starting on the Path, whatever Path you are starting, could be the most important part of any spiritual growth. It takes real courage and flexibility to try something new. You are off to a great start! Buddhism is all about being curious and open to learning new things.
Often times we get asked, “As a newbie to Buddhism, where should I start?” Great question! The answer our Spiritual Director, Lama Jinpa would give you is “Slowly!” There is so much to learn and we all have busy lives. Lama Jinpa jokes that “Turtles win the race.” The most important thing is to start something.
