Buddhism | A Wisdom Archive on Buddhism | | Buddhism Founded by Gautama the Buddha, Buddhism is known for its Middle Path�that which neither promotes extreme asceticism nor absolute hedonism yet still leads to nirvana.
The Buddha promoted the eightfold path, that of right understanding, right thinking, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration. Though the Middle Path or Buddhism discouraged the concept of an external God waiting to mete out reward or punishment, it firmly believed in the cycles of reincarnation completing which a seeker could attain nirvana, the ultimate enlightenment. | |

| Archives on Buddhism | | | | Buddhism: Meditation in Buddhism The practice of Meditation is common and is believed to lead through a succession of stages to spiritual liberation or Nirvana. By meditation one learns to simply be in the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or fantasizing about the future.
Buddhists believe:
To study the way of the Buddha is to study oneself.
To study oneself is to forget oneself.
To forget oneself is to be enlightened by everything.
The object of concentration or Kamatthana varies according to person or situation.
Chanting of mantras is an act of homage to gods. Words or verses may be recited in praise of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. It helps to develop a calm and peaceful state of mind. |

| | |  Buddhism: Introduction to BuddhismIntroduction to Buddhism. Buddhism is a spiritual tradition that focuses on personal spiritual development and the attainment of a deep insight into the true nature of life. This makes Buddhism different from many other faiths for it is not centred on the relationship between humanity and God. Buddhism doesn't fit the pattern of other faiths and needs to be seen in its own terms to be understood properly. Buddhists do not believe in a personal creator God. It does not have the concept of a Saviour, nor of Heaven and Hell in the popular sense. Buddhism doesn't demand blind faith or belief, and says that people should test its teachings against personal experience. Read more here: » Buddhism: Introduction to Buddhism |

| | |  Buddhism: History of BuddhismThe history of Buddhism spans from the 6th century BCE to the present, starting with the birth of the Buddha Siddharta Gautama. This makes it one of the oldest religions practiced today. Throughout this period, the religion evolved as it encountered various countries and cultures, adding to its original Indian foundation Hellenistic as well as Central Asian, East Asian, and Southeast Asian cultural elements. In the process, its geographical extent became considerable so as to affect at one time or another most of the Asian continent. The history of Buddhism is also characterized by the development of numerous movements and schisms, foremost among them the Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions, punctuated by contrasting periods of expansion and retreat.

| | | | | | Yoga The ancient Yogis recognised long ago that in order to accomplish the highest stage of yoga, which is the realisation of the self, or God consciousness, a healthy physical body is essential. For when we are sick, our attention is seldom free enough to contemplate the larger reality, or to muster the energy for practice.
The masters of yoga also teach us that personal growth is possible only when we fully accept our embodiment and when we truly understand that the body is not merely skin and bones but a finely balanced system of energies. Read more here: » Yoga |
