BFF is offering a new fun project for members and friends called "Buddhism in 40 words or less."

In order to not become tough-tighed when asked the question "What is Buddhism?" we are asking people to submit their versions of a concise and comprehensible answer to this question. Please e-mail us your versions. Thank you for your participation.

BUDDHISM IN 23 WORDS

Wisdom: Discover the One,
Compassion: Embrace the many,
We are pure.
Things change.
Be aware of the All,
Don't resist pain.
No boundaries.

---Tony Galli

BUDDHISM IN 40 WORDS

Believe ans entrust in Boundless Compassion,
Acknowledge human imperfections,
Recite the Name,
Listen to the Dharma,
Practice the Precepts and generosity,
Live mindfully in peace, joy and in gratitude,
Be compassionate, loving, forgiving and humble,
And share the dharma with all.

----G.R. Lewis
