Buddhism is a non-theistic religion founded in India by a man named Siddhartha Gautama. From all his teachings, Siddhartha Gautama adopted the name Buddha, which means “the Enlightened One.” Gautama, or Buddha, lived and taught in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent between 566 and 480 BCE. Since then, Buddhism has spread to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia in the form of Theravada and to East Asia in the form of Mahayana. Today, these two forms are found all over the world. Buddhism includes a range of traditions, practices and dogmas. Buddhism consists of several main ideals. First, there is the idea of ​​the Four Noble Truths. Karma is another aspect of Buddhism. The final ideal is the cycle of rebirths. The Four Noble Truths constitute the central teachings of Buddhism. They provide the structure of Buddhist philosophy. The Four Noble Truths explain the causes of dukkha and how to overcome it. Dukkha is suffering, anxiety and discontent. The Four Noble Truths are: the truth of dukkha, the truth of the origin of dukkha, the truth of the end of dukkha, and finally, the truth of the path leading to the end of dukkha. More simply, the Four Noble Truths are an emergency plan to deal with the suffering humanity is experiencing. The Buddha realized that there was suffering but did not find the answer to the suffering until he deprived himself of his material possessions and meditated. The first truth recognizes the existence of suffering. The second seeks the cause of suffering. Suffering is said to arise because of desire and ignorance. Humanity tends to desire what it cannot have. We ignorantly believe that the world is something that it is not. The third...... middle of document...... all based on an ethical system as shown by the main ideals I discussed above. Buddhism does not challenge beliefs linked to cultural and national restrictions. It also concerns a variety of diverse cultural conditions. Buddhism teaches how to achieve maximum satisfaction. It can be applied individually for the benefit of one's own religious development and emotional security.
