Buddhism is a religion indigenous to the Indian subcontinent that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs, and practices largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, who is commonly known as the Buddha meaning quot;the awakened onequot; in Sanskrit and Pali. The Buddha lived and taught in the eastern part of Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is recognized by Buddhists as an awakened or enlightened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering dukkha through eliminating ignorance avidya and craving ta?ha, by way of understanding and seeing dependent origination pratityasamutpada and nonself anatman, and thus attain the highest happiness, nirvana nirvana.
Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada quot;The School of the Eldersquot; and Mahayana quot;The Great Vehiclequot;. Theravada has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tiantai Tendai and Shinnyoen. In some classifications, Vajrayanapracticed mainly in Tibet and Mongolia, and adjacent parts of China and Russiais recognized as a third branch, while others classify it as a part of Mahayana. There are other categorisations of these three Vehicles or Yanas.
While Buddhism remains most popular within Asia, both branches are now found throughout the world. Estimates of Buddhists worldwide vary significantly depending on the way Buddhist adherence is defined. Lower estimates are between 350500 million.
Buddhist schools vary on the exact nature of the path to liberation, the importance and canonicity of various teachings and scriptures, and especially their respective practices. Two of the most important teachings are dependent origination and noself. The foundations of Buddhist tradition and practice are the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma the teachings, and the Sangha the community. Taking quot;refuge in the triple gemquot; has traditionally been a declaration and commitment to being on the Buddhist path and in general distinguishes a Buddhist from a nonBuddhist.
