There are six distinct realms in Buddhism. Based on their positive karma, people can reincarnate in any of these six realms. If their karma has been positive, they may be reborn in the realms of demigods or gods. For example, the demigods can enjoy unimaginable pleasure. The Gods suffer from jealousy, endless conflict, and constant jealousy. The realm of man in Buddhism is the highest realm. It lacks the conflicts and extravagances of the demigods.

Siddhartha, who was the first Buddha, established Buddhism. Although he would have called Buddhism philosophy, he soon realized that Brahmanism was too rigidly structured and full of ritual. It also accepted only Brahman families. This made it impossible for non Brahmans to join the monastic lifestyle. In the West the term religion was historically used to denote a particular dogmatic system.

It identifies itself with all

The Buddha religion recognizes all of existence and seeks to bring happiness. The bodhi trees were the place where Buddha found his enlightenment. At first, he was not inclined to take action but the god Brahma Shampati requested him to teach. After receiving this request, he decided that he would teach and started a successful teaching career.

Buddha called himself the "great surgeon" and tried to find the causes and effects for suffering in all living creatures. He sought to end suffering by providing a complete understanding of the causes and ways to relieve it. The Four Noble Truths are a method of diagnosing the disease. They identify its cause and offer a way to treat it.
