About Buddhism
Buddha and Buddhism
The founder of Buddhism in this world was Buddha Shakyamuni, who lived and taught in India some 2,500 years ago. Since then millions of people around the world have followed the pure spiritual path he revealed.
Buddha explained that all our problems and suffering arise from confused and negative states of mind, and all our happiness and good fortune arise from peaceful and positive states of mind.
Buddha taught special methods for gradually overcoming minds such as anger, jealousy and ignorance, and developing positive minds such as love, compassion and wisdom, as a path to experience lasting peace and happiness
This simple-but-powerful methods are just as relevant today as they were centuries ago, and are suitable to be practiced by anyone of any age, background or experience.
