Even though Buddhism is commonly listed among the world’s most widespread religions, there are many who would say that Buddhism is not a religion at all but in fact a spiritual journey.
Originally founded in India in the 6th Century BC by Siddhartha Gautama (the first Enlightened One) Buddhism strives to help people bring an end to their suffering by renouncing desire, craving, and ignorance in their lives by knowing and following the Four Noble Truths.
There are two major branches of Buddhism: Theravada and Mahayana. Theravada Buddhism is most common throughout Southeastern Asia and Sri Lanka. Mahayana Buddhism is more common in eastern Asia. Currently, there are an estimated five hundred million (or more) people who follow Buddhism, which translates to at least five percent of the world’s population, and would make it the fourth largest religion following Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism.
The bulk of this e-book is going to focus on Theravada Buddhism. In Theravada Buddhism, the goal is to attain the state of Nirvana by escaping the suffering and re-birth cycle. One can escape this cycle and thus attain Nirvana by practicing the Middle Way, which is also known as the Noble Eightfold Path.
In this little e-book, we are going to learn about the life of the Buddha and how he became the enlightened one, how Buddhists perceive life, the suffering and re-birth cycle, the solutions for how one can escape their suffering, common practices that Buddhists follow, and then important Buddhist texts to read.
The goal of this e-book is to give you a brief yet well-rounded introduction to the religion of Buddhism. By the end of this e-book, you will have a much better understanding of Buddhism as a whole and hopefully will be encouraged to learn more.
