Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama over 2,500 years ago, is a profound spiritual tradition that emphasizes the pursuit of enlightenment through understanding the nature of suffering and its cessation. Central to Buddhist philosophy are the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which guide practitioners toward a balanced life free from extremes of indulgence and deprivation.
