Buddha lived 2600 years ago in northern India and for 45 years he
taught others how to live in order to overcome suffering. His
teachings, which continue to spread throughout the world today, can
be summarized in three ways:
Do No Harm,
Do Good, and
Meditate.
In terms of our shared humanity, that we are all one, we are all in this
together, and we all possess the same virtues, health care reform is
really a no-brainer. Everyone should be entitled to the same care,
regardless of differences in economic status, employment, age,
health, or any other factor, and regardless of whether they are a
citizen or a resident, temporary or permanent, documented or
undocumented. Ideally in some distant future we will adopt this view
toward all beings everywhere. Let us begin by striving to achieve in
the U.S. what other industrialized nations have already achieved.
