Buddhism is a non-theistic practice and philosophy based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, who lived around 2500 years ago. The word "Buddha" means "one who is awake" or "enlightened" and refers to achieving a state of inner peace and wisdom. Buddhism teaches that life is suffering due to attachment and desire, and that one can be liberated from suffering by following the path of meditation, ethics, and wisdom to achieve enlightenment or nirvana. With over 500 million followers worldwide, Buddhism is one of the major religions in the world, especially in Asia where it has had the most influence culturally and socially.
