  If you don't like Christmas stories, don't read this one! And if you don't like dogs I don't know just what to advise you to do! For I warn you perfectly frankly that I am distinctly pro-dog and distinctly pro-Christmas, and would like to bring to this little story whatever whiff of fir-balsam I can cajole from the make-believe forest in my typewriter, and every glitter of tinsel, smudge of toy candle, crackle of wrapping paper, that my particular brand of brain and ink can conjure up on a single keyboard! And very large-sized dogs shall romp through every page! And the mercury shiver perpetually in the vicinity of zero! And every foot of earth be crusty-brown and bare with no white snow at all till the very last moment when you'd just about given up hope! And all the heart of the story is very,—oh very young! For purposes of propriety and general historical authenticity there are of course parents in the story. And one or two other oldish persons. But they all go away just as early in the narrative as I can manage it.—Are obliged to go away! Yet lest you find in this general combination of circumstances some sinister threat of audacity, let me conventionalize the story at once by opening it at that most conventional of all conventional Christmas-story hours,—the Twilight of Christmas Eve."

  The Essence of Buddhist...

  Buddha isn't depicted as a deity, but rather as a human being, just like each one of us. He experiences the same emotions and trials as we do. Drawing closer to Buddha involves confronting hardship and pain. By acknowledging our own suffering, we allow the Buddha within us to address its source, understand its roots, and guide us towards peace, joy, and liberation. 
  In the Discourse on Turning the Wheel of the Dharma, a sutra found in the Buddhist scripture Samyutta Nikaya, we learn of Buddha's journey to enlightenment. Originally named Siddhartha Gautama, Buddha embarked on a quest at the age of 29 to alleviate his own suffering and that of others. After six years of meditation and study under various teachers, he attained enlightenment. 
  Buddha then shared his insights with the five ascetics he had practiced with before. He imparted the Four Noble Truths: the reality of suffering, the causes of suffering, the possibility of alleviating suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path leading to liberation.
