hi I am 1 of the 500 million people that follow the
religion Buddhism. I am
going to explain how us
buddhas practice our
religion
Buddhism is practised
throughout the world in many
countries.
Such as Thailand, Sri
lanka, Myanmar, cambodia, Laos, Japan, China and in some parts of nepal, india
and bangladesh.
European countries and USA also make up the number.
He studied and taught this religion for over
50 years. he also became the first ever
Buddha.
Buddhism originated in northern India
when Prince Siddhartha Gautama started searching
enlightenment.
There are four noble truths that buddhist have to follow.
Noble truth Number one Existence is suffering and Noble truth number two Suffering arises from attachment to desires.
Noble truth number three freedom from suffering (nirvana) occurs when attachment to desires ceases
the fourth and last noble truth freedom from suffering is possible be practising the 'Eightfold Path'.
The four noble truths lay down a
process to acquire ethical, moral and mental discipline.
Buddhism has taught its
followers that they are
reincarnated after they pass and
continue to live many lives until
they reach nirvana (extinction)
Buddhists go to temples meditate anytime they like not on a set time
but they usually go on a full moon.
The temple of a Buddhist is
called vihara and its a place for education.
in a temple you'll find a shrine room with a large buddha and
statues of his followers.
Shoes are removed before entering the temple for respect. Buddha is known as a god not a teacher.
Candles and licence sticks are lit inside the temple.
Food and flowers are placed at the feet of the Buddha statue to
remind the followers that you don't live for
ever.
Buddhist give food to monks because they have nothing of their own and
they think it will help them reach Nirvana.
Health is the greatest gift,
contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the
best relationships. Buddha
"Do not dwell in the past, Do not dream of
the future, concentrate the mind
on the present moment."Buddha
