The Way of the Buddha
"Buddha" means awakened, or enlightened. That is to say, one who has gained unusual wisdom -- wisdom of a special sort, full of insight, and understanding of human nature. Perhaps you have read or heard about Solomon, the Isrealite king who was famous for his wisdom. These two stories, "Your turn, Our turn," and "Where, Oh Where, is Such a House," tell us how Gautama the Buddha, too, showed his superior judgment.
