Buddhism
Buddhism follows
the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, a prince who lived in India sometime
around 500 BCE. The principle philosophy
of Buddha may be summed up as this: All suffering arises from desire; to end
suffering, we must, rather than seeking to fulfill our desires, seek to stop
desiring; we can stop desiring by recognizing that what we desire is illusion;
we can realize this by following the eightfold path.
