This article gently brings the Buddhist journey to its natural crossroads. After exploring suffering, impermanence, reincarnation, and enlightenment, it asks a deeper question: what if hope is not escape, but rescue?
It contrasts the Buddhist vision of release — the candle going out — with the Christian promise of eternal life: a restored world, meaningful identity, and a personal God who comes to dwell with us.
Rather than arguing, the article invites reflection on love, forgiveness, and whether a final answer to suffering must come from outside ourselves. It closes by opening the door to the good news of Jesus — not as religion, but as an invitation to life, repentance, forgiveness, and a restored relationship with the Creator.
