The Creed of Buddha

Philosophy is, in its essence, the quest of reality. In the attempt to determine what is real, one has to choose, in the first instance, between the percipient self and the things that it perceives. This choice may seem to be purely metaphysical, but sooner or later it becomes a moral choice and one which is decisive of the chooser's destiny. -Edmond Holmes A wonderful introduction and guide to the teaching of Buddha. Especial helpful for the Westerner wishing to understand this Eastern religion.
