Buddhism

Buddhism is a major religion and philosophy, which has its origins about 2,500 years ago when Siddhārtha Gautama, known as the Buddha, was awakened ("enlightened") at the age of 35 while sitting under a Bodhi tree. Buddhist morality is deeply rooted by the principles of harmlessness and moderation ("The Middle Way"). The characteristics of Buddhism are:
* morality (sila)
* meditative concentration (samadhi)
* wisdom (prajñā)
