The Buddha represents a concentration of goodness for each society that encounters him, which is represented through that society's stories. Opening our hearts to what's really here. This includes social issues such as poverty, oppression, and war as well as the heavenly messenges of old age, sickness, and death. To address all of this can bring happiness and freedom to our hearts, personal and collective.
