Buddhism is a religion of reason; it imposes no creeds or dogmas and demands no submission to or blind faith in any separate deity, person, or thing; it teaches unity with all life everywhere, and compassion for every living being; it accords to man the beauty and dignity of original perfection and shows him the way by means of his perfection; it affirms that the Cosmos is not a “creation” in specific time by any personal God or Being, but is a manifestation of universal Infinite Intelligence, Mind – the only Ultimate Reality, of which every sentient being is a part and in which all life everywhere shares – never static, but forever folding and unfolding in the Way of Ultimate Truth, without beginning and without end, so explains the author in the Foreword of this book discussing why she became a Buddhist.
