Buddhism

     Buddhism, the religion is a descendant of Hinduism religion. A young man was reading a Sanskrit in India. He decided to take one of the stories inside the Sanskrit to heart. He would spend a lot of time reading the book and try to explain the concepts of the story.
     Some people noticed what he was doing and decided to follow him. They became followers of the man who preached things from a story. They would all beg for food when food ran out. The group became a group of monks. The monks decided to live a life being alone and silent. One day, the young man who lead the group decided to starve himself for days to find an answer for the meaning of life.
     He would spend time meditating under a tree until he figured out the meaning of life. There was something he felt he had to answer and assumed that starving will lead him to answer. He spent many hours and nights thinking. Trying to come up with the best principles and practices for Buddhist disciples. After about three days and nearly dying, he came up with the answers he was looking for.
There were practices and principles being taught to the disciples. The disciples then turned them into a book and the book turned into a religion called “Buddhism.” A religion about meditating and being silent to find oneself in a world that makes no sense.
    The Buddhism group was divided by different leaders and new philosophy was added to the religion for many years. New thoughts were being added and the concept of salvation was being added to the religion as well. The principles were expanded over time and as people thought about it more the principles became longer. The core belief of Buddhism is to realize that it is all in your mind and that you a part of something bigger then your self. Also, spending time alone meditating will not kill you but allow you to tap into who you really are.
