Buddhisim
Buddhism is a method of achieving "Nirvana," or liberation from suffering. The method of realising this was discovered by a man called the Buddha (a title which means "The Awakened One" or one who has been awakened to the true nature of existence). The method of liberation he discovered is called the Eightfold Path (a very specific set of practical guidelines for daily living).
The overall tone of the Buddhist lifestyle is living with compassion and kindness, doing no harm at all, and being helpful towards all peoples regardless of their racial, religious or political differences. The most important objectives a Buddhist has in life are to become liberated from suffering by realising the state of enlightenment, and also to help other beings become enlightened.
