On the Buddha's farewell tour he spoke everywhere of ethics, meditation and wisdom:
Ethics: natural morality, our harmonious relationship to the earth - hence paganism
Meditation: the exploration and transformation of conciousness - hence shamanism
Wisdom: Insight into the true nature of reality, things as they really are - hence the Buddha, the One who is Awake
