Introducing+Buddhism

 Founded by ‘Siddhartha Gautama’, who was also known to the world as Buddha, Buddhism originally initiated in northern India, spanning the 6th century BCE (Before Common Era). At one point, the belief of Buddhism has spread to most of the Asian continent evolving as it went along. One of Buddha’s main teachings consisted of the possibility to overcome suffering in the world and become enlightened by following the Eightfold Path.

The Eightfold Path was basically the following of right knowledge, right attitude, right speech, right actions, right livelihood, right effort, right state of mind and right concentration. Buddhism meant making sure that each and every one of these particular aspects of life is ‘samma’ (right).
