L---..:l how PAICO Rcdwood qnd Redwood Produch or. producod, he founded has more followers than any other on earth today. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's what the religious statistics "no*.

Quite a fellow, this Gautama, who has so many followers. On May 28, 1956, his anniversary was observed by over 500 million Buddhist believers in Asia and the Orient. His teachings were gentle, kindly, humble. He sat in a grove of trees in Bihar, and preached that there are five things necessary to achieve release from fear, and unhappiness. He said these five things are: restraint, proper discourse, energy in producing good thoughts, firmness in pursuing them, a,nd acquisition of true insight. But, he said, above all the seeker must learn to be a good friend. When he was asked what he meant by friendliness, he said: "It means to have hope of the welfare of others more than for one's self. It means affection unsullied by hope or thought of reward on earth or in heaven." And he said that "compassion and knowledge and virtue are the only possessions that do not fade away." And he also said that "friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of p€ace."
