Abstract
Each age has its special challenges for human beings, but the main problems have always remained the same, though different in appearance and ways. These problems can be effectively dealt with and solved only by changing our thinking and attitude towards our lives, the world, and ourselves. Modern people have greatly benefited from science and technology, but the challenges they encounter are even more sophisticated and complex. As the essence of the Buddha’s teachings is humanistic, we can learn from them and make full application of them to positively guiding our way in modern life.
