Notes on this formula:
1. The Way of Oneness Formula is intended to be universal. Although the formula comes out of a
general Buddhist perspective, it is expressed in a way that hopefully makes it accessible to
Buddhists of any sect, to followers of other religions, or even to those with no particular
religious orientation. Persons from any tradition or approach could use their own terminology
and illustrations to elaborate on the different aspects of the formula.
2. It should also be mentioned that of course life cannot be reduced to a formula. The Way of
Oneness formula is simply a handy way to express some basic teachings about life. It is a nice
summary that makes it easier to remember such teachings. To remember the teachings means to
live them in one's everyday life. This is the most important thing.
3. Just for fun, note that the formula contains all the vowels of the alphabet.
