Many followers of world religions have ignored or slighted the injunctions of their religious teachers in order to seek power, fame and other material gains for their personal aggrandisements. That tend to pollute the minds of modern religionists and cause unhealthy competitions and barriers amongst different religious groups as well as within the same religious community.This booklet was published with the hope to enlighten the public and other fellow religionists to work in peace and harmony with one another so as to effectively promote and maintain moral discipline and a proper sense of religious values amongst their respective adherents.---Dhamma Sharingon 'Faith & Belief in Buddhism'.Follow this link (Video) ... https://youtu.be/N1036V-NVSg or(Audio) ... https://archive.org/details/TalksbyDrDhammanada/Faith+%26+Belief+in+Buddhism+-+Ven.+Dr.+K.+Sri+Dhammananda.mp3---'What Buddhists Believe'Download at this link ... www.buddhanet.net/pdf_file/whatbelieve.pdf---"What Buddhists Believe" - a course on the fundamental concepts of Buddhism over 9 consecutive Thursdays, beginning 3rd August 2017.This course is based on the book of the same title, written by our late chief Ven K.
