Buddha did not teach some extraordinary truth or profound enlightenment to be passed on. He was not a god or superhuman, neither a perfect being. He taught simply how to live in this world peacefully without causing any more un-necessary suffering to self and others. He taught us how to love one another again and to see that we are all one and the same. Love is the key to all. This love consists of accepting everyone for all their differences. Equanimity, compassion, loving-kindness, giving, and joy for others happiness is the hallmark of the Buddha’s teachings. It’s the only thing I know.
Love all.

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
