Key concepts include reincarnation, karma, and rejection of the caste system and gods.

Buddhism Presentation
Siddhartha Gautama, born a prince in 563 BC, was dissatisfied with teachings of Brahmin priests and sought wisdom on his own. After seeing an old man, sick man, and dead man outside the palace walls, he realized life was full of suffering and left his family to become a homeless wanderer. While meditating under a tree, Gautama gained enlightenment and became known as Buddha. He taught that suffering stems from desires, and the Eightfold Path can help end desires and attain nirvana to escape suffering. Buddhism eliminated the Hindu caste system and focused on kindness to all living things.
