Buddhism originated 2500 years ago when Siddhartha Gautama founded the religion. Key Buddhist beliefs include not believing in God, following the teachings of Buddha to find peace, and meditating. Buddhists believe in concepts like anatta, anicca, duhka, and karma. The Four Noble Truths explain duhka and the Eightfold Path as the way to end suffering. Important locations in Buddhism's history include Bodh Gaya, where Buddha achieved enlightenment, Lumbini where he was born, and Kushinagara where he died at age 80.
