'''Buddhism''' is a [[Dharmic religion]] and philosophy founded in ancient [[India]] by [[Siddhartha Gautama]], known as the Buddha ("the Enlightened One"). It emphasizes ethical living, meditation, and insight into the nature of reality to achieve liberation from suffering and the cycle of birth and rebirth ([[Samsara]]).<ref name="Britannica">[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Buddhism Encyclopaedia Britannica: Buddhism]</ref>

== History ==
Buddhism originated in the 5th–4th century BCE in the Indian subcontinent. Siddhartha Gautama, born as a prince in [[Lumbini]], modern-day [[Nepal]], renounced worldly life to seek the truth about human suffering. After attaining enlightenment under the [[Bodhi tree]] in [[Bodh Gaya]], he spent his life teaching the [[Four Noble Truths]] and the [[Eightfold Path]].<ref>[https://www.history.com/topics/religion/buddhism History.com: Buddhism]</ref>

The religion spread across Asia through trade routes and missionaries, evolving into distinct traditions such as:
* Theravāda: Practiced in [[Sri Lanka]], [[Thailand]], [[Myanmar]], and other parts of Southeast Asia.
* Mahayana: Popular in [[China]], [[Japan]], and [[Korea]].
* Vajrayana: Prominent in [[Tibet]] and [[Mongolia]].<ref name="Pew"/>

== Core Beliefs ==
Buddhism is based on several foundational principles:

=== The Four Noble Truths ===
1. Life is marked by suffering (''Dukkha'').
2. Suffering is caused by craving and attachment (''Tanha'').
3. There is a way to end suffering (''Nirvana'').
4. The path to liberation is the [[Eightfold Path]].<ref>[https://www.buddhanet.net/fundbud1.htm Buddhanet: The Four Noble Truths]</ref>

=== The Eightfold Path ===
The path consists of:
1. Right View
2. Right Intention
3. Right Speech
4. Right Action
5. Right Livelihood
6. Right Effort
7. Right Mindfulness
8. Right Concentration

These guide ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom.<ref>[https://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/bodhi/waytoend.html Access to Insight: The Eightfold Path]</ref>

== Scriptures ==
Buddhist teachings are preserved in texts such as:
* The ''[[Tripitaka]]'' (Pali Canon): The earliest collection of Buddhist scriptures.
* The ''Mahayana Sutras'': Texts central to Mahayana Buddhism.
* The ''Tibetan Book of the Dead'': A key Vajrayana text.<ref name="Britannica"/>

== Practices ==
Common practices in Buddhism include:
* Meditation: For mindfulness and concentration.
* Ethical Conduct: Following the [[Five Precepts]].
* Puja (Worship): Rituals performed at temples or home altars.<ref>[https://www.learnreligions.com/buddhist-practices-449737 Learn Religions: Buddhist Practices]</ref>

== Spread and Influence ==
Buddhism has influenced art, philosophy, and culture globally. It is practiced by over 535 million people, primarily in [[Asia]], with growing communities in the [[West]].<ref name="Pew"/>

== Modern Buddhism ==
In the 20th century, Buddhism gained attention in the West through teachers like [[Thich Nhat Hanh]] and the [[Dalai Lama]]. Movements such as Engaged Buddhism focus on applying Buddhist principles to social and environmental issues.<ref>[https://www.lionsroar.com/what-is-engaged-buddhism/ Lion’s Roar: Engaged Buddhism]</ref>
