Buddhism arose from the inspiration and teachings of Buddha. It is a complete way of life concerned with the wholesome development of the individual. Buddhism can be best summarised by the words of Buddha himself:

"Learn to do good,
Cease to do harm,
Control the mind,
And benefit others."

Buddhism teaches us how to overcome our problems and difficulties by understanding and preventing their causes.

The founder of Buddhism in this world was Buddha Shakyamuni who lived and taught in India some two and a half thousand years ago. Since then millions of people around the world have followed the pure spiritual path he revealed. The Buddhist way of life of peace, loving kindness and wisdom is just as relevant today as it was in ancient India.
