Buddhism, the world's fourth largest religion, was founded over 2,500 years ago by Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha. It emphasizes overcoming suffering and achieving nirvana through the Middle Way, avoiding extremes of indulgence and deprivation. Core beliefs include karma, rebirth, and the Four Noble Truths. Buddhism spread from India to China and beyond, influencing various cultures. Despite historical challenges, it remains influential, especially in regions like Tibet and Thailand.
