Buddhism, A Religion Worth Understanding

Buddhism founded in 624 BC in India. Buddhism founded by Siddhartha Guatama. Siddhartha's mother, Maya, gave birth to Siddhartha in the garden of Lumbini, near Kapilavastu. Siddhartha

Siddhartha headed southeast in seek of total liberation from suffering. Siddhartha did not believe of the values he has at home. So to prove this he wanted to find the bent old man, the sick person, the dead person. Through searching Siddhartha reportedly denied himself food, clothing, endure great heat exposure and cold weather. Siddhartha later was known as Shakyamuni, by his followers.

Buddhism founded in 6th Century BC, in India. It is the Fourth Largest religion in the world. Buddhism is usually practice in China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. With immigrants of Asian culture to the USA, Buddhism is now practice in many temples in The United States. Buddhism believes in rebirth and karma. Buddhism teaches qualities such as non violence, tolerance of differences as a way of life. Buddhism does not worship any gods. Instead followers are taught meditation and other techniques to reach eternal happiness. The techniques includes the Four Noble Truth, The Five Percepts, Noble Eightfold Path, Reincarnation (life after death/ known as rebirth), delusion mind and virtuous mind, cyclic existence and bad / good karma and prayers. [Further explanation of each is explained below in each paragraph]Karma

Buddhism believes strongly that the mind and body are two separate entities. When a person dies, their mind does not cease. Every action we humans perform will leave an imprint on our mind. During my interview I had the

Understanding the law of karma is the basis of Buddhism. Imagine your mind as field. Depending on how you sow the seeds. Did you sow in your best heavier and best state of mind or with anger and jealousy? The actions and their effects play a role in what causes future happiness and what causes suffering. Positive sowing (actions) of the seeds will mean future happiness. Negative sowing (actions) will cause future sufferings. This reminds me somewhat of the Three Little Pigs. The first Pig built his house out of straws. Very little effort but he were done a lot quicker and were able to rest shortly after. The second little pig wanted to do better than the first so we built his house out of the sticks. He spent quite some time on the stick house and finally it was completed. The first and second little pig laughed as they watch the third little pig working hard to build his house out of brick. Not soon after the third little pig finished his home. There was unwanted visitor at the First little pig straw house. The big bad wolf quickly blew the house of straw away. Same thing happen to the stick house. Both little pigs ran and hid inside the Third little pig house. The negative state of mind of the first little pig and the second little pig almost cost them their lives. I am positive that many of us follow this rule but do not realize it. They are not Buddhist but they still perform the positive sowing of the seeds in search of future good fortunes and happiness. In today's society this is known as "What comes around goes around". If you treat others well you will be paid back. If you kill someone, someone will kill you later. The actions of each person will follow them around. An evil person will later find their sufferings were brought upon by themselves. Cyclic Existence
