BUDDHA




Buddhism is one of the world's great religions.Its founder was Gautama,who lived from 563 to 483 BC.He was rich,yet he wassad for he knew the world was full of suffering.So he gave away his riches,and spent many years trying to find the answer to the world's unhappiness.
He taught that there are eight 'paths' to the *nirivana*,or perfect peace.For this he was called Buddha,meaning"Enlightend One",and today millions of Buddhists follow his teachings.
