Come learn about the astonishing religion, Buddhism. This religion was founded in the sixth century B.C.E. in North India. Siddhartha Gautama is the founder of Buddhism and is the Buddha or enlightened one. His history was that he was a Hindu prince. He had given up his money and place to seek to understand the meaning of life. His dad had given Siddhartha every luxury and sheltered him. Until Gautama was 29, he had not seen disease, lack of money, and the end of life. Six years later, Siddhartha ate no food and meditated under a fig tree till he found the meaning of life. Eventually, he began to teach what he mastered and was called the Buddha. Today, Buddhists show many ways of how they respect and value Buddha and his teachings.

The Noble Eightfold Path required the right opinions, actions, speech, desires, effort, concentration, job, and meditation. Knowledge, meditation, and morals thrive in the process of the Noble Eightfold Path. This path that the Buddha educated about, could head to nirvana or end of suffering. Reaching nirvana destroys the cycle of reincarnation that Buddhists and Hindus believed in. The Noble Eightfold Path focuses on how people can not do just a bit or loads. This path says the “Middle Way” is the best. To describe Buddha’s way of life, he created the Three Signs of Being. The first sign of being is nothing in life is perfect. This involves things like being tired and troubled. Everything in life, even solid objects like rocks are transforming is the second sign of being. The third sign of being is that there is no soul. Instead, the Buddha educated what moved onto the following life is a person life’s force. When the person gets reborn, their life is based on how they lived their previous life. This destiny is called Karma. In conclusion, the Three Signs of Being are used to label Buddha’s life. For Buddhism, there were ten main rules.
