Buddhism is a way of life, a religion which is based on the practice of discipline according to the teachings of the Buddha Siddharta Gautama who is also known as the Buddha Sakyamuni. The word " Buddha" derives from the root Sanskrit word "Budh" which means "to know". It is used as a title to denote an "Enlightened Being"- one who has attained, by his own personal efforts and merit, the pinnacle of intellect and divine knowledge.
Buddhism is a religion of peace and loving kindness, in the name of which no blood was ever shed for in its long history, there had never been any association with killing and destruction in its manner of persuading people to walk its gentle path. It is a religion of reason and meditation and its final goal is Deliverance, meaning the Liberation of the Self from the cycle of birth, old age, disease and death.
