Buddhism
Buddhism is a dharmic non-theistic religion that is focused on the teachings
of Siddharta Gautama, known as "Gautama Buddha" who was
born and lived in ancient
India/Nepal around the 5th century BCE.
The religion subsequently spread widely in Asia
and later spread around the world gaining adherents in
all the continents. Today, the largest Buddhist populations
are found in the Indian subcontinent,
China,
Tibet,
Japan
and Southeast Asia.
The exact number of Buddhists is unknown, but estimates
range from between 230 and 500 million, making it the fourth-largest
(by population) organized religion in the world (after
Christianity, Islam and
Hinduism).

Click Here | Product Description:
This book describes the basic principles of Buddhism. Much has been written about Buddhism and how to practice it. Readers will have no difficulty finding hundreds of books on the topic. This book simply focuses on the essence of Buddhism, as expressed in the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-fold Path.
Buddhism is not a religion as such; it does not propose an external God. It does not seek to replace a person’s existing religious beliefs, only to supplement them. The Buddha, in all likelihood, would rather his followers describe themselves simply as Followers of The Way.
