(12)
Part four
A Timeless Doctrine

I have often wondered how Buddhism came to be called ``Akalika`` which means ``timeless`` - that it exists for all time. The more I see the changes that have taken place in Buddhist culture or religion, the more I see how it keeps on adjusting to the needs of different eras, populations, individuals, the more I see that it has been possible for the Buddha to evolve a message that would remain eternally fresh.
