Buddhism is known as a philosophical and religious doctrine, which does not believe in any God, but in a supreme spiritual presence, that is, Buddhism is a non-theistic current, its principles are based on knowledge and nature, people practice this way of life can achieve harmonious spiritual formation and management of the psyche.
The one who left these teachings was Gautama Buddha, known as a religious reformer who lived in India in 500 BC Its origin comes from the Sanskrit “Buddha, which means the enlightened one”. In fact his name was Siddharta Gautama, it is known that his family was an aristocrat, but it was never possible to determine exactly if he was a nobleman or a prince, but to lead the spiritual life he chose, he gave up all his material possessions , inheritance. and social status and thus be able to continue and practice his religion.
Through the practice of Buddhism, people are able to feel a connection with themselves and in this way they can feel peace and spiritual and mental tranquility, they are also considered wise and aware people, they reach this state through meditation. Buddhas are subjects who live, not through material things, but through their own spirit, so they selflessly disconnect from all earthly possessions to reach nirvana, which is the immaterial and psychic phase that leads to inner happiness. . and successive reincarnations are also avoided.
It is important to point out that a god or a deity is not considered a Buddha, a Buddha does not have supernatural powers that allow him to be omnipotent, that person who practices Buddhism and who can become a Buddha is because he really discovered the way to meet your inner self through meditation, as did Siddhartha Gautama, who was known as a sage by his followers. The place where this religion is most practiced is in the Asian continent, however, despite having originated in that region, Buddhism has crossed borders, it is no longer concentrated only in the Eastern world, thus having a large number of followers.
