Understanding Buddhism

By Don Nardo

In ancient India, a wealthy prince named Siddhartha beheld human suffering and became determined to try to put a stop to it. Through meditation and self-discipline, he gained enlightenment and attracted a following that over time grew in the new faith-Buddhism. The religion's beginnings are discussed, along with core beliefs, common practices, and challenges for the future.
