Buddhism is a way of enlightenment and spiritual development based on the real practice. Awareness, kindness and wisdom are the major hymns in Buddhism, which is possible through the meditation and homage to Lord Buddha. It was developed around 2500 years ago when Gautam Buddha preached His followers to lead at the stage of Nirvana. The goal of Buddhism is to develop the concept of self in mans mind and create more ambition for eternal life and sense pleasure. It is believe that Buddhism shows the practical Path to salvation that Buddha had discovered. Buddhist believers try to make change from teaching.
