About Buddhism
Buddhism is a religion and philosophy developed in Northeastern India sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. It is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha. Two major branches of Buddhism have developed - Theravada and Mahayana - that have spread across much of Asia and, in recent years, across much of the world. According to estimates, there are between 350 - 500 million adherents to forms of Buddhism across the world.
