Humanistic Buddhism Courses MARkHAM

The Avatamsaka Sutra stated, "Of all offerings, the offering of Dharma is the highest." The Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha, is an important set of teachings because it helps individuals answer questions on life and death, and how to live this life on earth without being afflicted with suffering. The Dharma teaches universal truth.

Given that the Dharma is difficult to understand, Buddha has adopted innovative methods of instruction.
