I chose Buddhism for this essay because when I think of people who practice Buddhism they are very reserved on how they live their lives and practice their faith. Many religious individuals are aggressive in their beliefs and attempt to proselytize those who believe different or don’t believe at all. I also think that more people should learn about Buddhism, and appreciate it.
Buddhism was founded by a man named Siddhartha Gautama from India. He was born in 624 B.C. in what is now Nepal, many years before Christ was born, making it an older religion or “lifestyle” than even Christianity. The founder is Buddha Shakyamuni. “Shakya” is the name of the royal house he was born into, while “Muni” means able one. His parents named him Siddhartha
