Buddhism

Buddhism, established in the late 6th century B.C.E. by Siddhartha Gautama (the "Buddha"), is widely accepted religion in most of the countries of Asia, but less becoming in practice. Buddhism has created many different forms, but in each case there has been an attempt to draw from the life experiences of the Buddha, his teachings, and the "spirit" or "essence" of his teachings (called dhamma or dharma) as models for the superstitious life of one. His era in general was one of spiritual, intellectual, and social ferment which highly effect ones calmness. Nowadays some lamas claim that buddhism enhances brain potentials and progress better-ness. Although there are several concepts of Buddhism that are hard to grasp, yet interesting and intriguing at the same time happens. One of the most important principles for westerners to follow would be self control, meaning yoga, meditation and being on diet. Another principle to follow is right behavior, which not to drink alcohol or using drugs. The somewhat similarities can be found in almost every single religion throughout the world today. For example, Christianity spread well throughout the world about 2000 years ago and its principle is to love and to be loved as Buddhism encourages people to treat people equally. Both have their own customs and beliefs, but they persuade people mentally. Jesus was then sentenced to be crucified. After his death, Paul continued to spread Christianity throughout the world, which became one of the most widely known practices after thousand years, just as Buddhism has.
