- Oh absolutely.
Part of the text I just read was this:
"Over the ages, religious teachers, philosophers and scientists have offered a variety of theories about matters such as whether the world is eternal, whether the body and spirit are one, and whether people exist after death. While it is nice to receive comforting answers to these sorts of questions, the difference of opinion on these matters has also been the source of considerable conflict and difficulty in our world. In studying the Dharma taught by Sakyamuni Buddha, one finds many valuable insights regarding how to live in the present moment with kindness and understanding for others, but detailed discussion of the sort of metaphysical questions described above is notably absent.
The teachings of Buddhism provide a practical path to overcoming suffering in this
life."
