The Ancient Teachings Of Theravada Buddhism

Buddhism is a religion and philosophy that originated in ancient India and has since spread across the modern world. Buddhism is based on the teachings of The Buddha, or Siddhartha Gautama. The Buddha lived in ancient India in the 5th century BCE. He was a prince, born into a wealthy and privileged family in the Shakya clan in present-day Nepal. However, he became deeply troubled by the suffering he saw around him. He made a vow to try to find a solution to this problem of suffering.
