Siddhartha Gautama founded Buddhism in India in the 6th century BC after becoming enlightened under a bodhi tree. He taught that life involves suffering, but the Four Noble Truths and following the Eightfold Path can end suffering and reach Nirvana. Buddhism spread across Asia over centuries and developed into three main traditions: Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. Key beliefs include reincarnation, karma, and achieving nirvana through living an ethical life and meditation.
The origins of Buddhism lie in ancient India.
The religious landscape of the time was shaped by the ideology of the Aryas, a nomadic group who travelled into India around the beginning of the second millennium BCE.
The teachings of the social group known as brahmanas are found within texts such as the Ṛg Veda and Upaniṣads. These contain teachings, philosophies and ritual guides.
The Brahmanic tradition also introduced the caste system.
There were also ascetic movements found within India which had ideologies that did not necessarily agree with brahmanic thought.
