How to Become a Buddhist
Three Parts:Understanding Basic Buddhist ConceptsTaking RefugePracticing Buddhism in Daily LifeCommunity Q&A
Buddhism is an ancient religion founded by Siddhartha Gautama that teaches concepts such as the Four Noble Truths, karma, and the cycle of rebirth.[1] Buddhism is still a popular religion nowadays, with millions of people all over the world who practice it. The first step to becoming a Buddhist is understanding basic Buddhist beliefs; this will help you decide if Buddhism is the religion for you. Then, you can practice Buddhism and take part in centuries-old traditions.
Part 1
Understanding Basic Buddhist Concepts
1Learn basic Buddhist terminology. This will make it much easier to understand everything you will read, since many Buddhist terms can be very unfamiliar, especially to Westerners. The basic terms of Buddhism include but are not limited to:
- Arhat: a being who has attained nirvana.
- Bodhisattva: a being who is on the way to enlightenment.
- Buddha: an awakened being who has achieved perfect enlightenment.[2]
- Dharma: a complicated term that usually refers to the teachings of the Buddha.
- Nirvana: spiritual bliss. Nirvana is the ultimate goal of Buddhism.
- Sangha: the Buddhist community.
- Sutra: a sacred Buddhist text.
- Venerable: an ordained monk or nun, usually seen wearing orange robes.
2Familiarize yourself with different Buddhist schools. The two most popular Buddhist schools today are Theravada and Mahayana.[3] Though these two schools have the same basic beliefs, there are differences in the teachings they focus on: Mahayana focuses heavily on becoming a bodhisattva, Theravada focuses on practicing the dharma, and so on.[4]
- There are many other schools of Buddhism, such as Zen Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, and Esoteric Buddhism.
- No matter which school interests you, the basic teachings of Buddhism are the same.
- Because Buddhism is such an ancient religion, there are many intricate differences between all the schools that cannot be covered in detail here; spend time researching Buddhism to find out more.
3Read about the life of Siddhartha Gautama. There are many books talking about the founder of Buddhism, and a simple online search will reveal many articles about his life as well. Siddhartha Gautama was a prince who left his palace and lavish lifestyle to seek enlightenment. Though he is not the only Buddha in existence, he is the historical founder of Buddhism.
4Learn about the Four Noble Truths. One of the most foundational concepts of Buddhism is summarized a teaching called the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering.[5] In other words, suffering exists, it has a cause and an end, and there is a way to bring about the end of suffering.
- The Four Noble Truths are not negative; they are actually meant to reduce suffering through contemplating them.
- The Four Noble Truths emphasize that pursuing pleasure is not important.
- If you find yourself confused by the Four Noble Truths, don't feel alone; it takes many people years to fully grasp this teaching.
5Learn about reincarnation and nirvana. Buddhists believe beings live multiple lives. Once a being dies, they are born into a new life, and this cycle of living and dying will only cease once nirvana is attained.[6] A being can be reborn into the human, heavenly, animal, hell, asura, or hungry ghost realms.[7]
6Understand karma. Karma is closely intertwined with reincarnation and nirvana because karma determines where and when a being will be reborn. Karma consists of the good or bad actions of previous lifetimes and this lifetime. Bad or good karma may affect a being right away, thousands of years from now, or in five lifetimes, depending on when the effects are meant to occur.
- Negative karma results from bad actions or thoughts, like killing, stealing, or lying.
- Positive karma results from good actions or thoughts, such as generosity, kindness, and spreading Buddhist teachings.
- Neutral karma results from actions that have no real effect, such as breathing or sleeping.
Part 2
Taking Refuge
1Find a temple you feel comfortable joining. Many major cities have a Buddhist temple, but each temple will stem from a different school (such as Theravada or Zen), and each will certainly offer different services, classes, and activities. The best way to learn about temples near you is to visit them and talk to a Venerable or lay devotee.
- Ask about what services and activities the temple offers.
- Explore the different shrines.
- Attend a few services and see if you like the atmosphere.
2Become a part of the community. Like most religions, Buddhism has a strong sense of community, and the devotees and monks are welcoming and informative. Begin attending classes and making friends at your temple.
- Many Buddhist communities will travel together to different Buddhist temples across the world. This is a fun way to get involved.
- If at first you feel shy or nervous, this is perfectly normal.
- Buddhism is the most popular religion in many countries like Japan, Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, Korea, Sri Lanka, China etc.
3Inquire about taking refuge in the Triple Gem. The Triple Gem consists of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.[8] When you take refuge in the Triple Gem, you will likely undergo a ceremony in which you vow to uphold the Five Precepts, which are to not kill, not steal, not commit sexual misconduct, refrain from false speech, and not consume intoxicants.
- The specific aspects of the ceremony will vary from temple to temple.
- Do not feel obligated to take the Three Refuges, since upholding Buddhist morality is the most important part of this religion.
- If you cannot take the Three Refuges because of cultural reasons, or if you cannot find a temple near you, you can still uphold the Five Precepts.
- Once you take refuge in Buddhism, you are officially a Buddhist.
Part 3
Practicing Buddhism in Daily Life
1Keep connected to the Buddhist community. Attending classes at the temple where you took refuge is a great way to stay connected to the Buddhist community. Most temples offer lessons in yoga, meditation, or various sutra lessons. Spend time with friends and family members who are Buddhist, too.
2Study Buddhism regularly. Many translated sutras are available online, your temple might have a library, or you can buy sutras. There are also many different Venerable monks and lay Buddhists who have written explanations of Buddhist sutras. Some of the most popular Buddhist sutras are: The Diamond Sutra, The Heart Sutra, and The Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra.
- Teach others what you have learned about Buddhism once you think you've mastered a concept.
- There are hundreds of Buddhist concepts and teachings to study, but try not to feel overwhelmed or pressured to "get it" right away.
- Attend classes taught by a Venerable or lay devotee at your temple.
3Uphold the Five Precepts. When you took refuge in the Triple Gem, you vowed to uphold the Five Precepts, but this can be difficult at times. Do your best to not kill any living creature, be honest, not consume intoxicants, do not steal, and do not commit sexual misconduct. If you break the precepts, simply repent, and do your best to keep upholding them.
4Practice the Middle Way.[9] This is an important part of Buddhism which requires Buddhists to lead a balanced life that is not too lavish or too stringent. The Middle Way is also known as the "Noble Eightfold Path," which teaches Buddhists to abide by eight elements. Spend time studying all eight:
- Right view
- Right intention
- Right speech
- Right action
- Right livelihood
- Right effort
- Right mindfulness
- Right concentration
Community Q&A
How do I attain peace with myself and free my mind?wikiHow ContributorThat is only a question "you" can answer, what inner peace is to one person would be different to you. Look into yoga and meditation.
Can gay people become Buddhists?wikiHow ContributorYes, of course they can. Buddhists are very open minded and gay people are like any other people. The most important thing in Buddhism is to awaken your mind and emancipate yourself from desires and material property. Accepting gay people is the beginning of this awakening.
The closest temple to me is at least 2 hours away. Can I still practice the religion?wikiHow ContributorYes you can! You could read books, or search and find various alternatives to practicing the religion. You could also consider attending the temple once a month or so.
My family is not happy that I want to convert to Buddhism. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorStart familiarizing yourself with the practices, to allow your new mindset to develop and to change your actions. If it's something that is making you a better person, then your family will eventually come to realize that it's the best path for you. Part of Buddhism if accepting and respecting other religions. It can also help you accept yourself so you can move forward with your path to enlightenment. You will be able to make the transition.
I am new to Buddhism and want to meditate, but I am bit overweight so it's hard to cross my legs into the meditation position. Can I still meditate?wikiHow ContributorAbsolutely! If crossing your legs is painful, try sitting in a chair or whatever posture is most comfortable for you. Some meditators kneel while supporting their weight on a special bench or a meditation cushion turned on its side. What matters most is that you focus your mind on meditation and study the Buddhist teachings.
Can I be Christian but still follow Buddhist ways? Do I have to go to a temple?wikiHow ContributorYes. Much of the Buddhist philosophy aligns with Christian teachings while also teaching acceptance for others and not limiting worldviews. There is no need to be a part of a temple or organization to practice. Religion is personal and you get to decide how you practice.
What does not consuming intoxicants mean? Can I ever drink again?wikiHow ContributorYou can drink in moderation. However, most Buddhists don't drink at all – you need to reconcile that with your beliefs.
Is there a holy book for Buddhism? If so, what is it called? Thanks.wikiHow ContributorThe simple answer is that there is, but that the translated version consists of multiple volumes. It is called the Tipitaka, or the Pali Canon. However, if you're interested in knowing more about Buddhism, you may wish to instead read The Buddhist Catechism by Henry Steel Olcott. The catechism is a list of questions and answers designed to teach Buddhism. And while this article refers to Buddhism as a religion, you will find that it really isn't one at all, but is rather a moral philosophy.
Can I still be a Buddhist without actually joining a temple?wikiHow ContributorYes, absolutely. You can learn about Buddhism by yourself from reading books, asking your Buddhist friends and meditating on Buddhist principles.
What about prayer and helping others?wikiHow ContributorMany religions have some sort of prayer to their god(s). There is no god in Buddhism. It is a practice. If you'd like to think of it this way, meditation is equivalent to prayer.
Do I have to shave my head to formally become a Buddhist?wikiHow ContributorOnly Buddhist monks shave their heads. Buddhism comes from your heart and the way you behave. It does not show by the way you dress or the place you live.
If I am in a sexual relationship, would I have to stop having sex if I become a Buddhist?wikiHow ContributorNo, most Buddhists, aside from monks and nuns, have sex. However, Buddhism teaches that you should be cautious with your sexuality. Most Buddhists don't watch porn, masturbate, or have too much sex – they don't let it become a habit.
Can I have tattoos and other body modifications?wikiHow ContributorYes. Buddhism is about freeing yourself, and many Buddhists have tattoos.
Is it possible to be unworthy of being Buddhist?wikiHow ContributorAccording to Buddhism, a person's worth can be measured by Seela, Samadhi, and Pragna. Seela means politeness and virtuous doings and words. Samadhi is a developed state of mind. Pragna is the amount of intelligence obtained about the world through meditation.
My family is Christian and I'm not sure how to introduce the fact that I want to convert to Buddhism. How can I secretly be Buddhist until I turn 18?wikiHow ContributorSpend the time researching the religion in your library or at home, doing it without telling anyone. Clear all history searches on your computer if your family are snoops. Meditate late at night in your bedroom. Use this time to do a lot of research, and a lot of thinking. When you turn 18, you'll be ready to make the decision without having to justify it to anybody.
Can I be Buddhist without believing in reincarnation? I want to use Buddha's teachings in my everyday life.wikiHow ContributorSure. Anyone can use Buddhist teachings in their life if they want to - you don't have to officially become a Buddhist to do so. And you can be a Buddhist without believing in reincarnation.
I want to become a Buddhist, but I go to Catholic school! What should I do?wikiHow ContributorTalk to your parents. They should be accepting to your interest. If they do not accept it, don't fret; Buddhism is not a religion, per say, as there is no god; it's a practice. You're not dodging your god, you're just investing yourself in a pure practice. If they don't agree, you could still meditate and read about it, just make sure they're not in the room. Make sure you're not breaking the rule of always being honest, though!
I am a teenage girl, and I am trying not to find out what religion is best for me. I believe most things that have been said, but my parents would never let me join a temple. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorYou don't have to join a temple to be a Buddhist, but you can of course join a temple/community when you grow older and move from home.
Is Buddha considered a God?wikiHow ContributorThere are some people within Buddhism who sees Buddha as a God, but the most accepted and popular opinion is that Buddha was a man, or a human.
I'm only 13, and I want to become a Buddhist. Can I and will my family accept me?wikiHow ContributorOf course. Buddhism is for all ages. It depends on your family whether they will accept you or not. But if you're worried about how they will feel about your converting to Buddhism, you can try practicing Buddhism in secrecy until you're ready to tell your family.
Does Buddhism forbid me from eating meat?wikiHow ContributorNo it doesn't forbid it but most strict Buddhists don't eat meat. You may want to consider eating meat but only as long as it feeds other people as well.
Do I have to believe in God to be a Buddhist?wikiHow ContributorNo. There are many different specifics with Buddhist schools, so it would be best to do your research and discover which specifics work for you. The idea in Buddhism is being able to become enlightened in the moment and accepting yourself and everything around you. Many Buddhists believe in God, but there are also many atheist Buddhists.
How often should a Buddhist meditate?wikiHow ContributorHow often and for how long you like. However it is recommended that you have some kind of schedule for when to meditate in order to become used to it. A start might be meditation five minutes, one time every day, then maybe ten minutes, one or two times etc. to gradually increase it, but remember to do it at your own pace.
What should I do to get in touch with the Buddhist community?wikiHow ContributorYou should check out the temple. Once you get into the temple, you will be able to become a part of the community.
Both my knees are damaged, and I only just began walking again. Will yoga do more damage?wikiHow ContributorConsult your doctor. Take plenty of time to recover, and only do physical activity, including yoga, when you are fully recovered.
How is a vegetarian diet and Buddhism related?wikiHow ContributorOne of the precepts is to abstain from harming any sentient beings, i.e harming animals. Thus, the way the two are connected.
Can I still be a Buddhist if I don't believe in the cycle of rebirth?wikiHow ContributorBelieving in the cycle of rebirth is believing in the words of Buddha. Liberation from this cycle of rebirth, Nirvana, is the foundation and the most important purpose of Buddhism. If you don't believe in the end goal of Buddhism, then you can't become a Buddhist because believing in it is part of the path to Enlightenment.
Do you go to a temple?wikiHow ContributorYes, you do go to the temple, and that is how you become a part of the community.
What books can I read at home?wikiHow ContributorYou can search Google, Amazon, and eBay for books about Buddhism. If you don't find anything, you can always ask at your local library.
Is there an age limit to Buddhism or different rules based on your age?wikiHow ContributorThere's no age restriction for you to convert to Buddhism, and there are no rules of age either.
Do I have to be over 18 to start Buddhism?wikiHow ContributorOf course not! Buddhism is for everybody, in just the same way that you don't have to be 18 to be a Christian or Jewish.
If Buddhism is not really a religion, is there any way I can truly practice Buddhism while still remaining Christian?wikiHow ContributorThere's no rule saying that you can't. However, it may be difficult to practice Christianity alongside Buddhism.
- Helping others is an essential part of Buddhism
- Spend a lot of time learning about Buddhism before taking refuge in the Triple Gem.
- Buddhism has many complicated philosophical texts; do not feel frustrated if they confuse you.
- Listen to Buddhist preaches on YouTube.
- If you are used to eat meat, gradually eat less meat, and if it feels right, stop eating meat in general.

Note from an Indie:
Wow! The closer we get to IYOU 2016 the more excited I get! My team and I have been working to create an event that I am so proud of. And I hope to see as many faces there as possible.
Our theme, "I Am because We Are" really does capture what IYOU means to me which is: people from all over with so many different backgrounds, views, perception and experiences coming together, accepting each other, and loving one another. It's not about looking past each other's differences in order to connect, it is about shining the light on our differences while accepting and loving them and creating deep connections. We also realize that our differences don't separate us, they do the opposite…they force us to look within ourselves and acknowledge that we have the same qualities within.
I can't wait to see you there!!!

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
According to the Biomarkers Consortium at the Foundation for the NIH, "biomarkers are molecular, biological, or physical characteristics that indicate a specific, underlying physiologic state to identify risk for disease, to make a diagnosis, and to guide treatment." Thus, biomarkers are essential to personalized medicine. A number of researchers will be discussing their progress using biomarkers at CHI's upcoming "TriMedicine Conference" to be held in San Francisco in late February. A preview of some of those presentations is provided in this article.
James L. Mulshine, M.D., professor at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, will be describing his use of quantitative imaging as a biomarker of drug response in lung cancer.
Lung cancer is still the world's leading cause of cancer death; however, drug development is slow and expensive. The primary barrier is the outdated and imprecise method of evaluating drug response. Dr. Mulshine advocates using 3-D tumor imaging as a "surrogate endpoint" of measuring drug responsiveness rather than the unidimensional measurements currently used, much the way cholesterol levels rather than the frequency of heart attacks are now used to evaluate the efficacy of lipid-lowering drugs.
Spiral, or helical, CT scanning is a quick way to measure changes in tumor volume with high resolution. It can, therefore, be applied to "window-of-opportunity" drug trials, in which tumors are imaged both before and after drug exposure. Changes in tumor volume and signaling pathways precipitated by the drug treatment can be measured.
Tumor reduction assessed by high-resolution CT was recently used successfully as an endpoint in a Phase II trial of pazopanib, an oral angiogenesis inhibitor targeting VEGFR, PDGFR, and c-kit in patients with stage I–II non-small-cell lung cancer.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

I've tried adding the CSS
a.footer:link {color: #000; }
a.footer:visited {color: #0CC; }
a.footer:hover {color: #300; }
a.footer:active {color: #300; }
to my information, but it hasn't changed the footer links to a different colour. As they stand, they can't be seen and it's driving me nuts. The main one that needs to be changed is the bloginfo section in the footer.php page but I can't figure out how to do that. What part of the CSS is that connected to?

8th Sep 11
A vehicle launched by Australia's Anacacia Capital has been named the top performing fund globally by Pensions and Investments magazine. Anacacia Partnership I, which closed in 2007, was judged to be the outstanding performer out of funds raised between 2006 and 2008, based on data collected by Preqin.
The fund focuses on investments in small- and medium-sized enterprises and its next vehicle is likely to have a similar mandate.
Anacacia has also announced two new investments in height safety provider Roofsafe Industrial Safety Enterprises and hydraulics firm Planet Services Group, respectively. Advisors on the transactions included Thomsons Lawyers, Keystone Lawyers, Ryan Lawyers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, HLB Mann Judd, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Hanrahan and Marsh.
Responding to news of the award, Jeremy Samuel, Anacacia's founder and managing director, said: "It demonstrates that, even during tough times, Australia can generate the very best returns globally from private equity backed small-medium enterprises."

Grade 1 winner Spring At Last has already sired two winners from his first crop of two-year-olds to race, including the impressive filly Seaneen Girl who won handily by 5 ¾-lengths at first asking Friday afternoon at Woodbine.
Seaneen Girl settled off the early pace before putting in a professionally rallying on the turn and taking full control of the race straightening for home. The chestnut filly widened in mid-stretch before being geared down late. The final time for the 4 1/2-furlong heat on the Polytrack was :52.90.

Earlier this week, Spring At Last sired the top two-year-old filly at the OBS June Sale, selling for a then-sale record $320,000, after breezing a bullet quarter mile in :20.80.

55w fog light bulb in place of 35w stock?
i have a 01' 530 and like the subj says i would like to use 55w fog light bulb in place of 35w stock. Not because i want to use a higher wattage but there is no 35 watt replacement bulb that recreates a "white" color, closely correlated with HID's. I def dont want them that bright, to the point where i will be getting pulled over. If anyone knows if the wattage jump will have any detrimental effects on the car please let me know. The link provided is the bulb that i wanted to purchase. Thanks in advance

Victoria Beckham Commits To The Interwebs, Launches E-Commerce
We warmly welcome Victoria Beckham to the wonderful world of e-commerce (you've seen our shop right?).
The celebrity designer launched her website this week and as it turns out, she was very hands on in its inception. "There's a cool, edgy rawness to it — and that's very much how I wanted it to look. With regards to the imagery, I haven't done anything too complicated. I've kept it real. It's very relatable. I didn't want the images to be super glossy and retouched — I find that quite an old-fashioned approach. It's very honest. That's why people respond to the brand in the way that they do."
As well as the main line and the Victoria Victoria Beckham diffusion label, the site will exclusively sell the VB Icon collection, a re-issued edit of dresses from previous seasons in colorways the designer wears herself. How very up close and personal. We're big fans of the label's subtle corsetry, striking colour palette, and sophisticated accessories. Oh, and VB on Twitter is pretty fabulous, too. So, be sure to check out the Look section of the site where you can see all of the brand's social media outpourings. Addictive viewing. (WWD)

Two years after the UK government decommissioned its controversial Iris Recognition Immigration System, Parliament has launched an inquiry into both the public and private sector's current and future uses of biometrics.
From the Parliament reference document:
Though the IRIS system was shut down after eight years of use, the UK still uses biometric systems for e-passports and residence permits.
The Parliament Science and Technology Committee is seeking answers to questions about research and development priorities; potential uses of biometrics; the challenges of developing, implementing, and regulating biometric technology; and the effectiveness of current legislation in governing the ownership of biometric data and who can collect, store, and use it.
The deadline to submit comments to Parliament is Sep. 26.Sara Peters is Senior Editor at Dark Reading and formerly the editor-in-chief of Enterprise Efficiency. Prior that she was senior editor for the Computer Security Institute, writing and speaking about virtualization, identity management, cybersecurity law, and a myriad ... View Full Bio
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

The last time Felipe Massa outqualified his team-mate four times in a row, the world was a very different place.
Formula 1 cars still stopped for fuel, tyres had grooves in them, Michael Schumacher was a venerated first-time retiree, Sebastian Vettel had just one grand prix win to his name and the Brazilian himself was in the thick of a world championship fight that he came within a few seconds of winning.
The year was 2008 and Massa outpaced Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen in six qualifying sessions, stretching from Germany to Singapore.
The 31-year-old is currently enjoying his most sustained, and convincing, run of form since he was first partnered with Alonso at the start of 2010. Massa might not have been able to convert his Malaysia front row start to a podium, but he now heads Alonso in the points for the first time in three years as well.
But this sequence of good performances stretches back beyond the last four weekends during which he has outpaced Alonso on Saturday. Last year's August break was the turning point.

Heading into the break, Massa was a dead man walking at Ferrari. The team was very seriously evaluating replacements and he knew he needed to up his game from the Belgian Grand Prix onwards, which he has done in spectacular style.
By his own admission, he is driving "10 times better" now than he was at the start of last season when he was, pound for pound, one of the most dismal performers in the field.
He has spoken several times about his psychological approach being key to his revival. Come August last year, he was at rock bottom and recognised not only his Ferrari future, but his whole Formula 1 career, hung in the balance.
After scoring a woeful 25 points before August, the situation seemed irredeemable. But with nothing left to lose, Massa was able to clear his mind and focus simply on getting the best out of himself. Like many drivers before him, simply concentrating on the job in hand and disregarding external factors yielded vastly improved results.
Not least among those mental processes was stopping worrying about Alonso. The Spaniard is, after all, a force of nature. By removing his focus on trying to match his team-mate, Massa was able to improve his own driving. In the process, he finds himself able to trouble his illustrious team-mate.
In the 10 races since last year's August break, starting at Spa and finishing in Melbourne - a significant enough sample size to be representative of a trend - Massa scored 109 compared to Alonso's 132. Considering he had to cede an advantage to his team-mate on several occasions during that run, that's impressive.
Perhaps being able to outqualify Alonso should not be such a surprise, for if you ask anyone who has worked with the two-time world champion, his raw single-lap speed is arguably one of his weaker suits (weak being very much a relative term in this case).
Not that he's slow, far from it, but what makes Alonso such a formidable all-round competitor isn't his still-impressive one-lap speed. It tells you a lot that, after qualifying behind Massa in Melbourne, it was a combination of Alonso's consistent pace on the medium compound Pirellis and ability to seize the strategic initiative that made the difference in the battle with his team-mate.
Alonso now has to keep an eye on his team-mate again © XPB
Alonso is still a better all-round driver than Massa, but the margin is now relatively narrow. At worst, Massa is now a strong number two capable of helping Ferrari to the constructors' championship. At best, he is able to give Alonso a hurry-up, which is exactly where you would expect 2008-specification Massa to be.
The next question is how Alonso reacts. Ferrari is unquestionably his team and he holds greater sway in management decisions than any other driver on the grid.
Early in his career at Maranello, he made a very forceful point about the team having to set aside Massa's aspirations to avoid compromising his own after his shot at victory in the 2010 Australian GP was ruined by being held up behind Massa. This led to a crunch meeting at Maranello where he ensured the team would give him its full backing.
However the Alonso/Massa dynamic plays out this season, the bottom line is that Massa is back. From 2010 until mid-2012 his performances ranged from the sporadically good, to the average to the well below par, but now he appears capable of ending a victory drought that stretches back to the 2008 Brazilian GP in which he came so close to the crown.
The elephant in the room is Massa's crash during qualifying for the 2009 Hungarian GP. Recovery from head injuries is an inexact science and Karl Wendlinger, the ex-Sauber driver who was in a coma for a couple of weeks after his shunt at the chicane in practice for the 1994 Monaco GP, says it took him three years to shake off the after-effects.
No two injuries are identical, but it's interesting that Massa's best run of form since the accident started three years on from that terrible day in Budapest. Perhaps only now are we seeing a fully recovered Massa.
Massa's Hungary 2009 crash had long-lasting effects © LAT
Operating a grand prix car on the limit requires formidable mental processing. It can only take a tiny shortfall (one that would make no difference to the average human being) to turn a top-liner into an also-ran.
It's impossible to be sure, but there is compelling circumstantial evidence to suggest that it has taken Massa that long to find the final fraction of a per cent he needed to be back on top.
Add to that the fact that Massa has always been a confidence driver, and you have the perfect conditions for his revival.
Perhaps the process could have been accelerated had he been allowed to win the 2010 German GP rather than hand the lead over to Alonso, especially as it came a year to the day after his accident, but that weekend he was still significantly the slower of the Ferrari drivers (half-a-second down in qualifying).
In 2007/08, we saw Massa established himself as a credible title-winning force as his confidence grew and grew, culminating in his overshadowing Raikkonen and coming so close to the title.
But while even a Massa at his peak is not quite the equal of Alonso, he should be strong enough to give the Spaniard a regular headache - or become a useful ally in a championship showdown - and Ferrari a shot at the constructors' title.
As one of the most likable characters in the paddock, Massa proving that he has returned to his best form may prove to be the feel-good story of 2013.

Barry Trachtenberg is associate professor of History and director of the program in Judaic Studies. He was trained in Jewish history at the University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D.), the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Oxford University (Post-graduate Diploma). His book, The Revolutionary Roots of Modern Yiddish, 1903-1917 (Syracuse University Press, 2008) examines the impact of the 1905 Russian Revolution on the formation of Yiddish scholarship. His current project, on an attempt to publish a comprehensive encyclopedia in the Yiddish language, considers the shifting agenda of Yiddish-language research and the ways that the Nazi Holocaust shaped Yiddish scholars and Diaspora Nationalists' understanding of their task. He is also currently writing a book "The United States and the Nazi Holocaust: Legacies of a Genocide" for Bloomsbury Press.
Trachtenberg was a fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan and a research fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial and Museum. He teaches classes on the Nazi Holocaust, antisemitism, modern and medieval Jewish history, and Jewish nationalism. In 2011, he co-led the Curt C. and Else Silberman Seminar for Faculty at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies. In 2013 and 2014 he was an instructor at the Holocaust Educational Foundation's Annual Summer Institute on the Holocaust and Jewish Civilization at Northwestern University.
