A Question To The Buddha

A man he asked the Buddha
Why don’t you speak of God?
Budda he had seen the path
That most of they had trod
He said most of you sleep my frieends
You'll hear me from that sleep
How can I speak of God, to you?
You have to delve more deep

I only want to wake you up
The master, he did say
I cannot speak of God to you
For this is not my way
You cannot learn from empty words
You have to search within
Find out who you are, my friends
And let the truth begin

A man he asked the Buddha
Can you fill me the essence
Of what you try to give to us
As were in your holy presence
The master went into silence
Man did not understand
Buddha said “within this silence
Lies the truth of all that’s grand”.

Hi Angel, so nice to see you on my page, mate. I tried a few religions, and loved them all. Now though I have found the answers by diving into my inner self. After fifty years of meditation, I have found the joy that lasts forever. That joy is within each one of us. this is all we need, to bring peace all throughout mankind. This is now my total religion. It is good to be hearing from you, my friend. Bless you...Peter

Thank you so much, I have not been writing so often lately { too lazy I guess] Sometimes I can't be bothered, I prefer to sit in the garden with the beauty of nature. I don't really know what enlightenment is all about. I am just a guy who's found much joy. This is well enough for me. I wish you well, my friend...Peter

Greetings, Peter, and welcome!
Although I am a Christian, I have read about all major religions, and have studied most.
I know SOME about Buddhism, but not a lot.
I know that it began over 500 years before Jesus lived, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha.
I know that it is pervasive over Asia, and that the Buddha was prince, his father being king, over a poor populace.
I also am aware of the basic beliefs; no killing of any living thing, no sexual misconduct (how relevant is THAT one now?), stealing, drunkenness, or lying.
Hmmm, reminds me of some other commandments I heard somewhere once...
