History behind buddhism
Buddhism is one of the oldest religions in the world.
The Buddha himself was called the "Enlightened One."
The founder of Buddhism in this world is Siddhārtha Gautama,
He was born as a royal prince in 624 BC in a place called
Lumbini, which was originally in northern India but is now part of Nepal. ‘Shakya’ is the name of the royal family into which he was born, and ‘Muni’ means ‘Able One’.
Millions of people around the world have followed the spiritual path he revealed.
The Buddhist way of life of peace, loving kindness and
wisdom is just as relevant today as it was in ancient India.
