WHAT IS BUDDHISM?
Buddhism is a faith that was founded by Siddhartha
Gautama—also known as “the Buddha”—more than
2,500 years ago in India. With an estimated 500
million to one billion followers, scholars consider
Buddhism one of the major world religions. As a
non-theistic faith with no god or deity to worship,
some scholars describe Buddhism as a philosophy or
a moral code rather than an organized religion.
Many of the beliefs and practices of
Buddhism revolve around the concept
of suffering and its causes. Buddhism
has historically been most prominent in
East and Southeast Asia, but its
influence is growing throughout the
West. Many Buddhist ideas and
philosophies overlap with those of
other faiths.
