What is Buddhist Education?
In Buddhist understanding human beings are 'learning creatures'. We see our entire life as a learning process. Buddhism is an Education System with the idea that human beings have the potential to completely liberate themselves from all sufferings through a clear penetrative understanding of the way things are.

ANI, Jan 14, 2014


Washington, USA -- A new app, Buddhism 2, for iOS has been developed that teaches mindfulness-based meditation through a series of guided lessons.

The excellent app helps beginners learn how and why to adopt this important practice, which can help both mental and physical health.

According to CNET, the app is great for lowering stress, and the app includes more than 40 guided-meditation tracks, all of them categorized by mood or activity: traveling, going to bed, feeling stressed, etc.

Buddhism 2 is currently on sale for the introductory price of 1.99 dollars.
