Answer:
Buddhism is a type of religion, most commonly practiced in Asia. It was founded around the teachings of an Indian holy man named Siddhartha Gautama Shakyamuni, who was better known by his honorary title, The Buddha (the Enlightened One). Buddhists are non-violent, most are vegetarians, and they practice a religion where Buddha is seen as a great teacher and an inspiring leader rather than as a god. Buddhism teaches moderation (the "middle way") and encourages believers to seek inner peace through meditation and by study of the Buddha's teachings, which are called the Sutras.
