Buddhism is a religion designed to attain universal peace. The truth of every thing is elucidated by the noble teachings of the Buddha Thought 2556 years ago. Religion can not appeal to people if it can not respond to men’s fundamental needs for attaining wisdom and true peace of mind. Buddhism encompasses all aspects of human lives. Actual practice of Buddhism eventually leads all mankind to attain true peace and tranquility.
