The basics teachings of Buddha are about understanding what we are, who we are, why we are. When we begin to realize what we are, who we are, why we are, then we begin to realize what we are not, who we are not, why we are not.

We begin to realize that our ideas of security and our concept of freedom have been purely phantom experiences.

There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.
