Let him that would move the world first move himself.
A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true. Socrates

Theravada (Hinayana) teachings (Foundational). These teachings were intended for individuals whose mind was not yet very open and had a lesser aspiration to achieve enlightenment, having a lot of kleshas (mental states that cloud the mind) to tame.

sutra teachings on emptiness and on Prjanaparamita (that all things, including oneself, appear as thought forms (conceptual constructs)). These are Mahayana teachings focused on compassion or the Bodhisattva way.

May the blessing of the Buddhas down through the aeons come to your assistance in this most urgent and crucial time. May I be a guide for those who do not have a guide, a leader for those who journey, a boat for those who want to cross over, and all sorts of ships, bridges, beautiful parks for those who desire them, and light for those who need light.

Vajrayana teachings involves yoga practices to work the chakras (energy zones in the body) and intense visualizations of archetypes.

One Vehicle
o All teachings lead all beings to
the state of Buddhahood. It seems like there are three different teachings. | However, they are only skillful means of the Buddha to guide people to their level of understanding.

Dharma
There are two kinds of Dharma(1) of precepts and (2) of realization Precepts always fail. In some sense, thats their purpose like pie-crusts made to be broken. Dont fall into confusion. Better start with abandoning faith and magical thinking forever. Then, notice that confusion is co-emergent with our clarity-nature. Confusion isnt something you can avoid falling intoBut we can discover our real condition. And if we abide in that state, thats the Dharma of realization.Lucjan Shila

Siddhartha Shakyamuni

Chemistry 101: Where do the four great elements cease without remainder?
In many traditions, there are five great elements that comprise nature and are part of alchemy.
Briefly, a common misconception among non-Buddhists is that the Buddha is the Buddhist counterpart to God. Buddhism does not teach the dependency on any supreme being for enlightenment. The Buddha is a guide and teacher who points the way to enlightenment, but the struggle for enlightenment is one's own; and ultimately, one realizes one is a Buddha. Moreover, the Buddha did not argue the concept of God. And this does not make Buddhism atheistic as some may hold. He simply remained silent when asked about God as a conceptual discourse.
This does not preclude people from worshipping a statue of Buddha and asking for favors. They are still in the process of understanding the teachings, and their wisdom of the teachings are in accordance with their capabilities.
One starts where one isjust as it is working with ones own condition.

God in mystical literature is described as The Uncreated with the purpose of not reifying the Uncreated (to not conceptualize, concretize, objectify, picture, thingify)

Buddhahood is defined as
When one is freed from all mental obscurations, one is said to attain a state of continuous bliss mixed with a simultaneous cognition of emptiness, the true nature of reality. In the state of Buddhahood, all limitations on one's ability to help other living beings are removed.
