In the serious conflicts of religions, the interest of world people is increasing to the religions. In this contest it is needed to reconfirm the meaning of the word “religion” itself. The word originated from Latin word “religere” means “to rebind” implies that “man is connected to God through the creations, s/he has to bind himself back to God by his/her own choose”. Generally we think religion always has something to do with God. Buddhism is the religion but do not believe in God. To be religious is not necessary to believe on God, but of course need to believe on myself to be enlightened by inner spirit and original human characters. The center of enlightment and success is true love and total responsibilities.
