Australia's Buddhism

The history of the past has such a lot to contribute to the promises of the future, particularly within the realm of personal ethics and the joyful enjoyment of all of life's beauties.

I suggest further that this social culture is fast becoming a new norm in Australia for the understanding of those things outside our immediate, tangible control. The laws of cause and effect can be extremely pleasant, but also immensely unforgiving of behavioural frailty. They need to be understood, thoroughly.

Attendance evidence is revealing that many stressed people are turning to lifestyle courses, such as meditation and tai chi, without feeling any need to commit to spiritual change of belief as part of their practice. This could also be one reason for the increasing acceptance of Buddhism as an integral part of Australian life.

Let's all appreciate this aspect of Australian society, and perhaps one day enjoy meeting a Buddha called Bruce.
