Chapter 1: Buddhism-Detailed Insight Into Buddhism And How It Came Into Being

Buddhism is a philosophy, some refer to it as a religion, or a faith, that comprises of numerous beliefs, spiritual practices and traditions based primarily on the teachings of Gautama Buddha. Let us dig deeper into this and find out more about Buddhism.

How Did Buddhism Come into Being?

Buddhism was founded by Siddharta Gautama Buddha, who is also known as Buddha, which means the awakened one. Siddharta Gautama was born around 2600 years back as a prince in a wealthy family that ruled a small area located near the current border shared by India and Nepal. He enjoyed all the luxuries of life and he lived a lavish lifestyle. Despite all the comforts, Siddharta always felt a certain uneasiness and seldom found himself peaceful.

Siddharta often used to visit the capital of the kingdom. Mostly, he came across sick and old people living a life full of suffering. This left a strong impression on him and made him understand that everyone had to experience the pain and sufferings of being born, getting sick, getting old and then dying. Since he believed in reincarnation, he realized that these sufferings would not stop occurring. However, he was determined to find a solution for ending these sufferings and he knew he couldnt do this while living in the palace, so he decided to leave it.

When he was 29 years old, Siddhartha left the palace and his family in search for the real meaning and purpose of life. He spent years in secluded forests, remote mountains, and villages of northeast India. He studied different religions and faiths under many wise philosophers and religious teachers. Nonetheless, he discovered whatever he learned did not satisfy him. He struggled alone for a long time, practicing asceticism and self-mortification, but all his efforts ended in vain.

He finally traveled to a town close to Bodh Gaya located in India. Over there, he started meditating and focused entirely on dharmakaya meditation. Dharmakaya corresponds to the enlightenment of the mind. Siddharta started training himself in the dharmakaya meditation and after six years; he started feeling content and believed that he was quite close to reaching complete enlightenment.

When he was 35 years old, he was sitting under a humungous tree on the night of the full moon of the 4th month corresponding to the lunar calendar. That tree is now referred to as Boddhi tree. He started meditating and promised himself that he wouldnt get up until he acquired complete enlightenment. He entered a space-like concentration corresponding to the dharmakaya. He continued this practice until dawn and by that time, he had successfully attained full enlightenment and had deciphered the true meaning, purpose and way of life. This enlightenment wasnt a type of revelation given by a divine being. Rather, it was a discovery that he made by meditating on the highest and deepest level and by acquiring a clear experience of the mind. By achieving enlightenment, Siddhartha had cleansed himself of all the cravings, delusions, ill will, and desires and had founded the technique of living a harmonious life. From that time onwards, Siddharta was referred to as the Buddha, the enlightened one.

From this knowledge of how Buddhism came into being, is it a religion or not?

Is Buddhism A Religion Or Not?

Though the popular belief regarding Buddhism is that of a religion, in reality, it isnt a religion. Buddhism goes far beyond the concept of religion and is basically a way of living your life. Religion refers to a system of practices, behaviors, and views that are provided to you by a divine being. Whether it is Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or Hinduism- every religion is based on the existence of a supreme being that nurtures the world and everything it entails. On the other hand, Buddhism does not follow this concept.

Though Buddhism was started and developed by Gautama, Buddhists do not believe him to be a divine being nor do they seek refuge from him in the hope and faith that Buddha is going to save them. Buddhism is based on the mere concept of understanding and reasoning, known as samma-ditthi. Buddha said,

Though Buddha did develop his own set of teaching, nonetheless, he didnt invite his followers, or other people to place blind faith in them. He asked them to dig deeper into every idea and concept they come across to find out the truth behind it. This shows that Buddhism is a philosophy much broader than a religion and cannot be defined as a religion.
