1. THE  PATH OF GAUTAMA BUDDHA

The Path of Gotama Buddha started with his realization that the world within which he lived was an absolute disaster and after his long initial path to his Awakening, knowing that an alternative was possible, he set as a valid path for others:

1.  RESTRAINT from IMPEDIMENTS

2.  A Noble Path of MEDITATION

3.  Constant Practice of the four SUBLIME STATES

He saw that False Gladness, Compassion, Love and Intellectual Indifference were illusion which stain Samsara, but that the Gladness, Compassion, Benevolent Affect and Equanimity, which are a natural part of unstained Samsara, are also illusion.

欢乐, huānlè, Gladness

This is the experience of being Glad when others are correctly Glad.

 爱心, àixīn, Compassion

This is to deep experience that wishes that no creature should suffer.

感到, gǎndào, (Benevolent) Affect

This is the deep experience that wishes that all remain immersed in Well-being.

 安素, ānsù, Equanimity

This is the deep experience that wishes that all living creatures remain with Well-being in the face of both apparent agreeable consequences of their actions and all apparent disagreeable consequences of their actions.
