budisme

Buddhism is a religion and philosophy originating in ancient India with Siddhartha Gautama, the first Buddha. It is characterized by a focus on personal spiritual development and the attainment of enlightenment, known as Nirvana. Buddhism teaches that suffering is an inherent part of life and arises from attachment and desire. The Four Noble Truths form the core of Buddhist teachings, outlining the nature of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path to end it.

The Eightfold Path provides the practical guidelines for achieving liberation from suffering. It includes right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Buddhist ethics emphasize compassion, non-violence, and ethical conduct. Different schools of Buddhism, such as Theravada and Mahayana, have emerged over centuries, each with its own interpretations and practices, but all share the fundamental principles of the Buddha's teachings. Meditation is a central practice in Buddhism, used to cultivate awareness and insight.
