Hi dear, Buddhism is the religion of honesty and spirituality. It is a dharma religion that spread around the spirituality and urge of doing good things. It was founded in 5000 BC and treated as one of the most followed and old religion.

hey dear, Buddhism is founded in north-eastern India and it was based on the teaching of Indian Prince, Siddhartha Gautama, who became known as the Buddha, which means, "enlightened one". Buddhism believes in the teaching of self discovery and enlightenment of soul.

Hi dear, Buddhism is all about self control, self discovery and the power of self tolerance .Buddhist believes that with the power of self discovery they get connected to god which help them to earn the self tolerance which in turn help them to get into eternal state of nirvana.

Hi folks, fundamental of these religions are the meditation and religious practices .through these entire things one can awake the mind and feel connected with god .it also help to control our emotions and urge to believe in matter which is the whole and sole reason for cause of all sorrowness.

Hi dear, there are four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path are the means by which the ignorance and suffering of existence can melt away and the individual will be shown the truth. If someone can follow he goes to the ultimate path of divinity and truth.

Hey folks, The basics of Buddhism also encourage its followers to follow the teachings of Gautama Buddha based on personal experiences, and if those individuals feel the teachings are valid on their personal experience they can also choose to apply it in their life.

Hi dear, The Four Noble Truths were the first statement of Gautama Buddha following his enlightenment. These truths are among the most fundamental of the Buddhist teachings and are at the core of the enlightenment experience. The Four Noble Truths are regarded as deeply insightful and a well laid out cognitive methodology, not simply a theological perspective.

Hey buddies, it is truly said that Dharma represents the discoveries of Buddha and the discoveries how to enlighten other people. Dharma is not only a theory, but a raft designed to get you to the other side, beyond what a normal man can think. So Buddhists believes that it is only way of communicating to god.

Hi dear, above written is true my friend Dharma is designed to fit to you and your personal needs, and then be discarded, because the end goal of Buddhism, is a state of non-attachment, called Nirvana, or Enlightenment..Nirvana is the state where a person gets detached by the emotions and matter.

Hey buddy, Within Theravada Yoga, Tipitaka as well as commentaries upon Tipitaka can be viewed as "holy book" associated with Yoga. 5 Nikayas tend to be a way to rank Buddha's training when compared with Tipitaka (Ti or even attempt Sama dengan three).

Hey dear, In terms of relaxation, Theravada Yoga offers two sorts: Samatha as well as Vipassana. Samatha relaxation requires concentrating or even focusing a person's thoughts frequently on one stage associated with concentrate for example breaths or even little white-colored papers group.Vipassana relaxation depends on the potency of focus created through Samatha relaxation in order to frequently evaluate the actual character associated with greatest energies for example fugacity, poor, no-essence.

Hey folk,
@above you are right. The purpose of Samatha would be to build-up focus energy and also the objective associated with Vipassana would be to create knowledge through recognition from the actual character associated with energies like the understanding knowledge from the 4 commendable facts.

Hey dear, Viewers most of Buddhist exercise is not reading through the holy guide. Additionally when it is feasible We nevertheless recommend going for your closest sangha even though you however this means you need to remain a few times the majority of monks/nuns want in order to allow for place people for any time or even as well to assist. Enhance their own exercise.
