Buddhism is a world religion, named after its founder Buddha. At the luxury living, Buddha was impressed by an elderly, a patient, one dead and a monk so much that he decided the transience of the world to be overcome as ascetic. According felt Siddhartha Gautama, an Indian prince, a deep aversion to its rich citizens lives and left with 29 years secretly his family. At the age of 35 years, he came through a “middle way” between asceticism and abundance (religious restriction) to enlightenment under a fig tree at Bodh Gaya in India. Then he founded with 5 ascetics a monk orders and moved with his followers teaching in North India. In addition to the legendary Siddhartha Gautama Buddhism knows other heralds in his past and future, who reached on its own power to enlightenment.

Buddhism is a doctrine whose founders with the honorary title of “Buddha” is designated. The word Buddha comes from the Sanskrit of Budh, it means awake. It means that someone who is awakened bears this name and he is awakened from the night of error to the light of realization. The essence of a Buddha is that he has it on its own acquired his knowledge, neither by this revelation of God nor by studies of sacred writings or acquired by teachers. Buddha is not God, not even the incarnation (incarnation) of God, but a man who is just like any other disease of aging and is subject to the death. A Buddha is different to other people because he has overcome all blindness and passion and as a result of its intellectual and human perfection miracle forces can flourish, while others have failed. He can not remember only to his numerous previous existences, he also knows the past and future births of other beings. Most of his magical abilities are revealed to him, if he is the perfect enlightenment (bodhi) and therefore has reached a candidate for the dignity of Buddha, a bodhisattva, a Buddha, an awakened one, has become enlightened. Bodhisattva means to be an essential towards the Buddha.

The Buddhist ethics

Buddhist ethics is at the service of self-redemption. Buddha also drew from cult acts deliberately. Buddhism flourished from 268 – 227 BC. But by 380 BC, there were significant differences within the Order. It led to the split in the two directions, known as “vehicles” of the Hinajana (small car) – Buddhism in Mahayana (large vehicle) – Buddhism, has been taken since this split different paths in their teaching and propagation. At present, the Buddhism as Hinajana – Buddhism is practiced in Sri Lanka,Thailand, Burma, Laos, Kambodsha. The Mahayana – Buddhism, the real world Buddhism is practiced in China, Nepal, Vietnam, Korea, Japan and as a special form of Lamaism in Tibet. The condition was that the person who has decided, to kive after the Buddha to seek a solemn vows to help all beings, and he will be active in all its reincarnation to the well-being of others. In the meditative contemplation, as well as in practical life, he takes the wisdom of the disciples’ transformation of the neighbor in its own self.

“His universal love” for all beings stops also not by enemies, he knows no atrocities against him, because he himself, as he knows that he is the karmic (karma = fate) of the accident. Buddha performed, so long as he lives on earth, miracles, but he is not a savior, and after his death he has no direct effect on religious pilgrims. Not like gods in Hinduism, Islam Allah or Jesus. Buddhism can be determined as a 500 BC created special form of Indian religion. The essential elements of the ancient belief, reincarnation and redemption, as well as a number of mythological and cosmological ideas have been retained. Rejected were the agonizing self torment which are by many Hindus so highly rated. Buddhism cultivated in no way a cool world of pain, but also makes it mandatory that every imperfection on earth and that all things perish as inevitable and he accepts his view on the over all, looking forward to nirvana. Nirvana is Sanskrit and means expire/drift. The history of Buddhism shows that a doctrine of salvation, which abandoned deliberately kept at a colorful appearance (clothing and Culture), could be only a lesson of wisdom for few. Buddhism, therefore, had to come forward by former Culture of other religions who were there before him.

Over the centuries, during which he worked for many people and he had adopted erverywhere a differentiated appearance, he has preserved the character of the innermost core of a philosophy for thinkers. Buddhism has, in contrast to other world religions, never from those who were with him, demands that they belong exclusively to him and to give up their former relationship with other religions.
