It is true that Buddhism has been accepted in many countries outside India, but very few countries are nowadays following the pure teachings of the Buddha (Theravada Buddhism), i.e., the teachings which are not adjusted, fixed, or amended, even in a word, but maintained as originally taught by the Buddha.

The other branches of Buddhism include: adjustments and amendments to the teachings of the Buddha, like adding new things to and removing certain things from the teachings, and all these things are in contrast with the original teachings of the Buddha.

Note. The countries following Theravada Buddhism at present-day are: Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Sri Lanka, and among five of them, Myanmar is the country where the Four Noble Truths are the best prominent.

The chief reason people accept Buddhism is because its practices reduce suffering (dissatisfaction, troubles). Buddhism is not a doctrine or religious creed to be accepted; rather, it is a set of practices designed to reduce suffering. The Buddha encouraged an attitude of pragmatism and skepticism among his followers by encouraging them to test his suggestions and find out for themselves by their own direct experience whether or not they worked to reduce suffering.

What is the name the god for Buddhism?

The existence or non-existence of God is considered irrelevant in Buddhism - it is an experiental practice, not a doctrine. One of the main principles of Buddhism is: Do not accept anything on (mere) hearsay Do not accept anything by mere tradition Do not accept anything on account of mere rumors Do not accept anything just because it accords with your scriptures. Do not accept anything by mere suppositions. Do not accept anything by mere inference. Do not accept anything by merely considering the reasons. Do not accept anything merely because it agrees with your pre-conceived notions. Do not accept anything merely because it seems acceptable Do not accept anything thinking that the priest [saying it] is respected
