The Gautama Buddha approach

2008-04-29

Five hundred years before Christ, and one thousand before Mohamed, Gautama lived in the Land Of The Rose Apple. A paradise for him, but not so rose apple-ish for the poor, ill or old whom the Brahmins wouldn’t let into the temples—where they said God dwelt.

When Gautama became aware of the misery, he found a way to free the helpless. In a society controlled by powerful Brahmin priests, he joined the unwanted and taught them a different path to reach the Brahmin heaven!

Gautama’s way to enlighten the world, without money or conflict, is still perfect. To highlight the most vulnerable in climate change: poor, unskilled, old or ill people, and animal and plant life.
