Buddhism is a dharmic, non-theistic religion, which is also a philosophy and a system of psychology.[5] Buddhism is also known as Buddha Dharma or Dhamma, which means the "teachings of the Awakened One" in Sanskrit and Pali, the languages of ancient Buddhist texts. Buddhism was founded around the fifth century BCE by Siddhartha Gautama, hereafter referred to as "the Buddha".

It is a philosophy originated in India and flourished in China. Many people believe it's a religion. Actually it's a philosophy blended with some religious concepts. No matter what your religion is, it's a good idea to know more about it. My En is not good enough to talk about complicated philosophical theories here. If you type"buddism" in a search engine, you will find more info. Buddism is a beautiful branch of ancient knowledge.

Reformed hinduism. The essense of hinduism and buddhism is the same. Hinduism had strayed too far with focussing excessively on what god to pray to and in what situation.
Buddha focussed on enlightenment. To know yourself is to know God - Atman and atman.

It teaches you to have emotional quotient, to accept life as it is, to do good deeds, and to live in harmony with the nature.
