Calling all Buddhists.

I was raised in a Sikh family with some Vedic teachigns; Sikhism is Buddhism at it's core: the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev ji, traveled to Tibet and other parts of Buddhist indoctrinated parts to study under such teachings, as it is evident in many Sikh Scriptures.

I can very easily call myself a Buddhist, and do, more so that i consider myself a Sikh.

Buddha means one who woke up, enlightened one

So I guess a buddhist is one who treads the path to enlightment, but there can be some serious misunderstanding in this last sentence, because in fact there is no road to enlightment because one is allready enlightened, but one is not aware of that. The truth is hidden within, it has always been there, but has not been found.
When one finds the truth, it transforms the mind, and brings an eternal peacefull state of mind, therefore real happiness cannot be found outside oneself.
