Buddhists at times pay respect to images of the Buddha but not to ask for favors or during worship. A statue of the Buddha with hands gently on its lap and a smile reminds each one of us to aim at developing peace and love within ourselves. Bowing to the statue of the Buddha is a way of expressing gratitude for his teaching.

Buddha ist einer der größten Weisheitslehrer der Menschheitsgeschichte. Der Mönch spricht von den "vier Wahrheiten", von dem Weg der Reinheit, dem Glück und der großen Stille der Seele. Ein Werk für alle, die durch meditative und spirituelle Erfahrungen den Weg zu sich selbst finden möchten. Vor etwa 2500 Jahren wurde Gautama Buddha in Nordindien geboren.

Der Heilsweg des Buddha ist ein Weg zur Weisheit und zur Erlösung des Einzelnen. Am Anfang der Lehre stand die Einsicht, dass die Welt in ihrer Vergänglichkeit ein Ort des Leidens sei. Die Lehrtätigkeit des Buddha erfolgte aus unendlichem Mitleid, um Wege aus dem Kreislauf des Leidens zu finden, in dem alle Lebewesen durch ihre Unwissenheit gefangen sind.
