Building Faith, Building Commitment
For
Buddhism, faith doesn't mean the blind acceptance of teachings as
unquestionable dogmas. Rather, faith suggests a combination of trust in
the Buddha as a fully enlightened teacher, confidence in the Buddha and
in his guidance, and feelings of devotion and reverence towards the
Buddha. This quality of faith is to be strengthened because it's what
builds our own commitment to the entire practice.
