Buddhism

Buddhism was created by a man named Siddhartha Gautama who left his wife and son to find the meaning of life. He meditated deeply under a tree after fasting and disciplining himself harshly didn't provide him with the answer he was seeking. It was then that he believed he found the truth. He taught that suffering is brought on by people's desires and that suffering can end and complete happiness can be found only by ending all desires. He gave his first sermon to the five wisdom seekers who journeyed with him and was renamed Buddha or the enlightened one. Buddha taught his followers to treat all living things with loving kindness and treat everyone equally.
