Friends, Our goal is to reach one billion people. We work towards helping one billion people gain a solid understanding of Buddhism, and more importantly, become daily practitioners. One of the most wonderful features of the life-changing practices taught by the Buddha is they are secular enough to be practiced by anybody, whether or not they have a religion, and regardless of what their religion is. Why one billion people? First of all, because the Buddha’s teachings are extremely effective at solving personal suffering, and we want to help one billion people with their suffering. But just as importantly, because one billion could be the tipping point. One billion people constitutes roughly 14% of humanity, and it may take as little as 10% of a population to create a tipping point. With as little as one billion practitioners, we can tip the world into goodness. The renewed rise of fascism, increasing conflict, and the resort to violence all around the world threaten civilized society, while the climate crisis threatens all lives. All the problems in the world are caused by greed, hatred, and delusion. The teachings of the Buddha are the antidote to greed, hatred, and delusion. Therefore, even with only one billion people practicing what the Buddha taught, we can begin to solve all the most serious problems in the world. We can begin to create the conditions for world peace. We invite you to join us on this journey together. Welcome to Buddhism.net, my friends.
