Buddhism
Buddhism is often described as a
religion and a collection of various
philosophies, based initially on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as
Gautama Buddha. To many, however, Buddhism is not a religion, nor a philosophy or a set of doctrines, but rather teachings to guide one to directly experiencing
reality. Buddhism is also known as
Buddha Dharma or Dhamma, which means roughly the "teachings of the Awakened One" in
Sanskrit and
Pali, languages of ancient
Buddhist texts. Buddhism began around
5th century BCE with the teachings of
Siddhartha Gautama, who was born in what is now Nepal and taught primarily in northern India, and is hereafter referred to as "the Buddha."
