Lao-Tzu (l. c. 500 BCE, also known as Laozi or Lao-Tze) was a Chinese philosopher credited with founding the philosophical system of Taoism. He is best known as the author of the Laozi (later retitled the Tao-Te-Ching translated as “The Way of Virtue” or “The Classic of the Way and Virtue”) the work which exemplifies his thought.

The name by which he is known is not a personal name but an honorific title meaning 'Old Man' or 'Old Master' and the debate continues as to whether an individual by that name ever existed or whether Lao-Tzu is an amalgam of many different philosophers. The historian Will Durant comments:

Lao-Tze, greatest of the pre-Confucian philosophers, was wiser than Teng Shih; he knew the wisdom of silence, and lived, we may be sure, to a ripe old age – though we are not sure that he lived at all. (652)

Durant expresses the scholarly consensus on the historicity of Lao-Tzu in that he may be a fictitious character created to embody the concept of the sage. At the same time, according to Chinese tradition, he was an actual historical figure and, in religious Taoism, he is understood as a deity.

The main question is "how does form of Buddhism can exist in another cultural world expression ". How do we transfer without negating the foundation from another different world view to ours".

As we review the various information, we should be touched how much there is to know. Buddhism was not organized as a religion but as a system to explore and learn.

Is it possible for everyone to achieve enlightenment and spiritual awakening like Buddha did?

Apparently.

But since we have apparently been strengthening our habits of ignorance over countless past lifetimes, we aren’t going to change that into habits of enlightenment overnight. Apparently it takes countless lifetimes to become fully enlightened, but even 5 to 15 years of ongoing meditation and work, done properly, can start the process to a minor degree.

If you need a quicker solution for a particular problem, try cognitive behavioral therapy. As with Buddhism, results depend on your effort and application, but for some issues you can start to have relief in as little as 6 to 24 weeks.

95% of how we feel arises automatically from whatever kinds of subconscious emotional patterns we have previously fed INTO our brain. Change your input and gradually your change the “output”. It’s not fast, and it’s not easy .. but it’s our only opportunity TO become happy. Happiness really IS a state of mind, and as such it will come only from within.

Terrace of L***r King

The internal wall is even more curious, in particular its side wings, featuring a far more diverse array of characters and scenes including palace depictions, numerous aquatic creatures and animals. Heading inside, again seven registers similar to the outer wall although this time we see court dancers occasionally interfused among the elite.
