I am rather introverted; many times you will see me walking alone and in large group conversations I was mostly silent or speak only a little. But this does not happen when I am in small group conversations(inc which a only a few people join)o or in MSN conversations or any letter means of communication. Many people tell me that they always at their first sight think I look like a rogue ! But later when they get closer to me, they change their attitudes. I know my face may scare you but it does not reflect anything deeper than that. I often feel I walk alone and I am doing everything alone. My life is of my own. I am only steadfastly in my own way of life and I begin to think that my own world is only my own way--only a few people are thinking the same as me. I am talking to someone, hoping that there must be some more people who belong to the same way of thinking and living as mine. But this should not mislead you into thinking that I am seeking to talk only with people of the same type. I am open to many types of people who are different from me. Searching for the same does not mean turning the back on the different. I am sensitive but not emotional. I always think a lot about many things I have seen. Imaginations overwhelmed me many times. I am sincere and hope the others would do the same to me. Talking frankly about myself is what I think is the most important. I love reason and questioning. After all, feelings should not be overlooked or underestimated. I love trying to take many perspectives on issues.Theories about the world and the investigation of perspectives or world views is what I love. I am down-to-earth and easy-going. I do not like talking too much about money or material wealth; granted,it is one of the most important factors that keep our worldly life going on easily. But it should not be taken for the solely important part of our life.

What's the Buddha's truth? The general answer is the Fourfold Truth. This answer is already on everyone's lip, as if firmly stamped on their tongues, so ready-made and so much a product of pure memorization, more like a permanently programed statement than an utterence of inner subtlety. But the so-called answer is only a pure principle, an impractical one, drifting aloof the crude reality. Many of us have still entrusted the truth of Buddhism on the authenticity of its founder, so steadfastly attaching the universal truth to the specific historical figure who are still under the threat of exhaustive investigation. They misunderstand his physical existence in Samsara for the content of his doctrine. The Buddha is reported to have remarked that although there are not any Buddhas coming into this world, the Truth of the Dependent Origination ( the truth of his core teacing) still exists and also that you cannot attain Nirvana even by crutching firmly at his robe. This confirms that the truth of his teaching does not depend on his existence. The Fourfold Truth is universal, existing independently of the existence of the Buddha, its proclaimer. What are the four components of that Truth? They are suffering (Dukkha), the cause of suffering (smudaya), the end of that suffering (Nirodha), and the way to the end of that suffering (Magga). Whatever religions or schools of thought, you subscirbe to, you cannot deny these four truths, as they are already present in your daily life. They permeat every bit of your own living condition. We can say they are the usual conditions of our life, the most ordinary facts of the world, hence the universally vital part of everybody's life. You may be Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Marxists, or those logical positivists, or even the postmordernists, but you cannot deny that you didn't use to have sufferings. You did suffer.The Buddha also used to suffer. If some scholars happen to discover that the Buddha did not really exist at all, this cannot destroy or downplay the veracity of this Fourfold Truth at all. The Buddha is also included in this Truth; he, too, is in the process of the world. Suffering still exists, the cause (s) is still to be ascertian, the end of suffering is naturally at the end of the tunnel of suffering, and the way to the discovery of that end of suffering is already waiting for us to formulate and take action on it. You can testify to the fact that the Buddha's tentative authenticity does not at all vitiate the veracity of the Truth as it is the common truth that cut across every kind of boundaries or philosophical position you adhere to.
