Buddhists

Buddhists follow the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, who sought to understand and end human suffering. They practice mindfulness, ethical living, meditation, and insight to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and inner peace. Buddhism emphasizes the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path as guides to overcome desire and attachment, aiming for enlightenment or Nirvana—freedom from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. With diverse traditions worldwide, Buddhists seek personal growth and compassion, often engaging in community and spiritual practices to foster a harmonious life.
