Buddhism
Buddhism is a spiritual tradition originating in ancient India around the 6th century BCE, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, who later became known as the Buddha. It emphasizes the practice of meditation, ethical conduct, and the pursuit of wisdom to achieve enlightenment, or the state of nirvana. In Thai culture, Buddhism plays a central role in shaping societal norms, values, and traditions. Thai festivals often incorporate Buddhist practices and beliefs, such as making merit, offering alms to monks, and participating in religious ceremonies. Overall, Buddhism in Thailand is deeply intertwined with the country's cultural identity, influencing various aspects of daily life, social interactions, and spiritual practices.
