Abstract
Buddhism was initiated by Gautama Śiddhārtha (Śākyamuni Buddha) about four hundred years before the time of Jesus Christ, in the northern part of the Indian sub-continent now called Nepal. It is followed mainly in Asian nations. Buddha sought the final goal of life, and he came to the conclusion that it was “Nirvāņa,” the liberation from transmigration within the “Karmic world.”
