Secular Buddhism

Secular Buddhism is a modern approach that applies Buddhist teachings and mindfulness practices without relying on religious beliefs, supernatural elements, or spiritual doctrines. It focuses on understanding and alleviating human suffering through meditation, ethical living, and insights into the nature of the mind, grounded in empirical observation and personal experience. Secular Buddhists view these practices as practical tools for mental well-being and ethical conduct, emphasizing reason and scientific understanding rather than faith. It encourages individuals to explore these teachings in a way that's relevant and accessible in contemporary, non-religious contexts.
