Page 6 of the "BUDDHISM BASICS" explains that each of us travels a road in life. Whether it is straight or bumpy or uphill or downhill or windy or rainy...is a mixture of circumstance and our decisions.

The 4 ATTRIBUTES of Buddhism affect our path immensely.
1. WISDOM
2. COMPASSION
3. KNOWLEDGE
4. MERIT

Buddha Zhen then previews the upcoming podcasts that will focus on the 5 PATHS of Buddhism:
1. PATH OF ACCUMULATING MERIT
2. PATH OF TRAINING
3. PATH OF ILLUMINATION
4. PATH OF CONCENTRATED CONTEMPLATION
5. FINAL PATH
