Budha is not a mystery to be solved with facts but an emotion to be felt with heart.

*The Three Learning* 

The very nature of Buddhism is education. An education of wisdom which cover the perfect knowledge of life and the universe.
An important part of the teachings are the Three Learning of abiding by the precepts / self-discipline, meditative concentration and wisdom.
Accomplishment of these three can relieve the suffering of this world.
What are the sufferings of sentient beings in our current age?
The first is committing the wrong-doings of the Ten Good Conducts. The first learning taught by Buddha is to learn self-discipline to overcome wrong-doings.

The second is the inability to remain serene and at peace. The Buddha taught us the learning of deep concentration to achieve purity of mind and tranquility.

The third suffering is ignorance. The Buddha taught us learning of wisdom to overcome our current state of ignorance.

Committing wrong-doings, being confused and remaining in ignorance are three of the major problems of sentient beings in our contemporary world.

Self-discipline cures our body.
Deep concentration cures our mind.
Wisdom cures our behaviour.
Therefore a person who practices Buddhism is wise in their thoughts, speech and behaviour.
So how could person be unhappy?

Buddha Shakyamuni told us how long the teachings would remain in this earth.
The Dharma Perfect Age would last for five hundred years.

The Dharma Semblance Age would last for a thousand years.
The Dharma Ending Age that we are in now would last for ten thousand years.
🙏🙏🙏 Amitabha Buddha

Someone Plis enlighten me on the Brahmans and devas etc what are these???

It's an odd thing. It's almost like those that aren't on the path to enlightenment are almost asleep.. In some kind of dream like state. Most don't even realize what's happening around them. Like the lights are on but nobody's home. Almost like zombies but obviously more alive. Some people get so caught up in their mental prison, that they don't notice others around them. Very peculiar. 20:17

Very interesting. I almost feel the same way. I read the scriptures on the various schools of teachings on Buddhism. Wrote everything down and came to the conclusion that the Buddha's own words must be the path. Tibetan Buddhism is like a fast track to the cessation of birth, suffering, and death. The Mahayana school is the Middle way, Buddha Nature, loving-kindness, sympathetic joy, Equanimity, etc. Where Theravada Buddhism focuses on the Buddha's teachings, it's the most authoritative branch..but was formed three hundred years after The Buddha. I could be wrong and if I am correct me for it. I find that all the branches seem to waste time arguing about what's the correct path, when it should be The Buddha's own words himself? I dunno, just a thought. It's like a game of telephone. I want to know exactly what the Buddha said.❤24:42
