Buddhism is a religion from India that is based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha (who is known by other names such as Siddhartha Gautama, Siddhattha Gotama, Shakyamuni, and more popularly known as simply Buddha).
According to Buddha’s Four Noble Truths (the “truth of the Noble Ones”), it is said that the goal of Buddhism is to “overcome suffering (duḥkha) caused by desire and ignorance of reality’s true nature, including impermanence (anicca) and the non-existence of the self (anattā)”.
Branches of Buddhism have a widespread following in many Asian countries. Even celebrities from all over the world follow Buddhism or consider themselves Buddhists.
To get acquainted with Buddhism, you can start by immersing yourself in the life lessons and quotes from Buddha himself for a peaceful living wherever you are, at work, at school, or even at your own home in a condo in Las Pinas.
