Buddhism originally started out of the religion Hinduism which is why some terms are similar like Karma and Dharma, however the religions are actually quite differnt. The historical buddha who organized the religion buddhism actually rebelled against many hindu ideas including the caste system (like social classes except not based on money, based on what your born into and its permanent unless you renounce hinduism).|||Buddhism began in North Eastern India and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. The religion is 2,500 years old and is followed by 350 million Buddhists worldwide. Buddhism is the main religion in many Asian countries. It is a religion about suffering and the need to get rid of it.


Buddhists believe that there is a cycle of birth, life and death and rebirth. This goes on and on. They believe that unless someone gains Enlightenment, when they die they will be reborn. If a person can gain Enlightenment, they can break out of this cycle. Breaking out of the cycle is called Nirvana. It is the end of everything that is not perfect. It is a perfect peace, free of suffering.


Buddhists try to reach Nirvana by following the Buddha's teaching and by meditating. Meditation involves training the mind to empty it of all thoughts. When this happens what is important comes clear.|||normally any one would say that BUDDHISM started from India ,that's true , but really it dint start from anywhere it was there since this universe evolved ,but no body found and understood the reality and cause of this suffering|||India
