Buddhism
Buddhism is a religion and philosophy that originated in ancient India, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha. It encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and practices based on the teachings of the Buddha, which emphasize personal spiritual development, meditation, and ethical living. Buddhism teaches the Four Noble Truths - the nature of suffering, the cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path to the cessation of suffering - as well as the Eightfold Path, which outlines steps to achieve enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Buddhists may follow different schools or sects, such as Theravada, Mahayana, or Vajrayana, each with its own interpretations and practices.
