| While a religion may serve to anker our memes, we are forever chaning by interacting with the worl. Everyday we encounter things, people, ideas, that challenge us and although we have tools like religion to keep us grounded and stable, we cannot help but be changed by things that we encounter. We are not the same people we were yesterday because we are continuing to learn, change, and adapt. This is a familiar concept in Buddhism. Although it is difficult to generalize about all Buddhists, most hold the belief that we are unhappy in our worldly, unenlightened state. It should be our goal to grow and change to achieve an awakening that releases us from our current state. | ||||
