Buddha teaches that all  Phenomena is soulless.      When a thing is impermanent, as all conditioned things are, and thus  susceptible to       change, there can be no overlord or Self. Helpless in arranging  things according to its       wishes there can be no soul as master over mind and body. The Buddha  explains the       soullessness of beings to the five bhikkhus at Isipatana in Benares,  in the discourse on       soullessness (Anattalakkana Sutta).[/SIZE]<img src="http://www.beyondthenet.net/buddha/gallery/Plate13a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />                      [SIZE=-1]13. Freedom of thought.      At times referred to as the Buddha's Charter of Free inquiry this  discourse was given by       the Buddha to the Brahmin Kalamas at Kesaputta. 2500 years ago,  preaching against blind       belief in Buddha gave prominence to and encouraged the spirit of  free inquiry and       independence of thought and action, subject to sound judgment. He  trained his disciples in       the art of questioning as well as in the finer points of debate and  discussion. Pointing       out the dangers of haphazard thinking the Buddha teaches the Kalamas  the art of reasoning       for the sole purpose of arriving at true understanding of the  Buddha's teaching of the       Four Noble Truths.

Towards human dignity.      Sunita was a scavenger born into a so called outcaste community. On  meeting the Buddha on       his almsround one day, the humble youth prostrated himself before  the Master in adoration.       Asking for ordination he is taken to the temple where he soon  becomes worthy of the       highest obeisance of both deva and brahma gods. Thus the Buddha  teaches that a man becomes       neither a Brahmin nor a low-caste by birth, but by deeds alone. [/SIZE]</blockquote>
