Buddhism as a way of life: An empirical study

Abstract

The Buddhist perspective is unique in its core tenets and emphasis on the interconnectedness of all life (to be explained later), on the end of psychological suffering and on the pursuit of achieving sustainable happiness amidst adversity by providing antidotes against the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance on the illusion of self/soul, the delusion of god(s) and the working of mind. The present study mustered the responses from 200 respondents on the Buddhism. The article gives an empirical study from the respondents in connection with the Buddhism as a Way of Life.
