What is this Religion – Ven Dr K Sri Dhammananda Thero

whatEvery man must have a religion and that religion must be one which will appeal to the intellectual mind. A man failing to observe religious principles, becomes a danger to society. There is no doubt that scientist and psychologists have widened our horizon but they have not been able to tell us our purpose in life. A proper religion can do this.

The religion that is being introduced in this booklet is a practical educational system for mental culture which was revealed to the world some twenty five centuries ago, by a most enlightened and compassionate Teacher. This religion is also known as the “MIDDLE-WAY, righteous way of life, ethico-philosophical system and a religion of freedom and reason.” It teaches us to do three main things: namely, “KEEP AWAY FROM BAD DEEDS, DO GOOD AND PURIFY THE MIND.”

Whether one believes in Him or not, his teaching nevertheless has its effect on all people. His message was given to the world without any violence nor was a single drop of blood ever shed in its name. This is a remarkable record in world history which could be imprinted in letters of gold. This teaching illuminates the way by which mankind could cross from a world of unsatisfactoriness to a new world of light, love, peace, happiness and satisfaction.
