* Followers of Buddhism don’t acknowledge a supreme god or deity. They instead focus on achieving enlightenment—a state of inner peace and wisdom. When followers reach this spiritual echelon, they’re said to have experienced nirvana.
* The religion’s founder, Buddha, is considered an extraordinary being, but not a god. The word Buddha means “enlightened.”
* The path to enlightenment is attained by utilizing morality, meditation and wisdom. Buddhists often meditate because they believe it helps awaken truth.
* There are many philosophies and interpretations within Buddhism, making it a tolerant and evolving religion.
* Some scholars don’t recognize Buddhism as an organized religion, but rather, a “way of life” or a “spiritual tradition.”
* Buddhism encourages its people to avoid self-indulgence but also self-denial.
* Buddha’s most important teachings, known as The Four Noble Truths, are essential to understanding the religion.
* Buddhists embrace the concepts of karma (the law of cause and effect) and reincarnation (the continuous cycle of rebirth).
* Followers of Buddhism can worship in temples or in their own homes.
* Buddhist monks, or bhikkhus, follow a strict code of conduct, which includes celibacy.
