		A Buddha is not a god, but rather one who, through complete wisdom and compassion, has attained full enlightenment and is thus beyond the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
		A Buddha exemplifies the highest form of morality and is the supreme teacher showing people the way to relieve suffering.
		The word "Buddha" is derived from the root budh meaning "to awaken and be aware or completely conscious of." Buddhists believe that all beings have the Buddha nature, i.e.

	Praise for Buddha's Not Smiling
		In the same way the Catholic Church transformed Jesus's simple message of peace and love into Crusades and Inquisitions, the Buddha's clear message of yoga and asceticism was largely ignored while rival schools developed throughout East Asia, centralizing their power through forgeries, interpolations, and false masters.
		Buddha's Not Smiling is a stark reminder that when false teachings are introduced for political gain, as when the Catholic Church made the doctrine of rebirth heretical in the sixth century, only more ignorance, and ultimately violence, will result.
		It involves deception, corruption and thuggery in the political and religious world of Tibet and the Tibetan exile community, a world which is far removed from the idealised Shangri La picture of Tibet on which many of us in the West have been brought up.
