Buddhism (/ˈbʊdɪzəm/ BUU-dih-zəm, /[unsupported input]ˈbuːd-/ BOOD-),[1][2][3] kent as Buddha Dharma an Dharmavinaya (transl. "lair an discipleenes") an aw, is æ Indien releegion an philosophical tradeetion basit on teachins attributit tæ Gautama Buddha.[4] Hit originatit in praisent-day Nor Indie as æ śramaṇa–muivement in i 5th century BCE, an gradualli spreid ootthrou a meikle o Asia via i Silk Road. Hit is i warld's fowert-lairgest releegion,[5] wi ower 520 million followers (Buddhists) foo comprise seiven percent o i global population.[6][7][8]

Gautama Buddha's central lairs emphasise i aim o atteenin liberation fæ attachment or hingin-on tæ existence, fit is said tæ be markit bi impermanence (anitya), dissaitisfaction/dreein (duḥkha), an i absence o lestie pith (anātman).[9] He endorsit i Wey o i Midlins, æ path o speeritual development at avides baith sevendible asceticism an hedonism. Æ summary o 'is path is expressit in i Noble Echtfold Bruid, æ trainin o i mind throu observance o Buddhist ethics an meditation. Ither widely observit practeeses include: monasticism; "taking refuge" in i Buddha, i dharma, an i saṅgha; an i cultivation o perfections (pāramitā).[10]

Buddhist schuils vary in eir interpretation o i bruidstæ liberation (mārga), i relative importance an 'canonicity' assignit tæ various Buddhist texts, an eir speceefic teachins an practeeses an aw.[11][12] Twa major extant brainches o Buddhism ur generalli recognizit bi scholars: Theravāda (lit. 'School of the Elders') an Mahāyāna (lit. 'Great Vehicle'). I Theravada tradeetion emphasises i atteenment o nirvāṇa (lit. 'extinguishin') as æ means o transcendin i individual self an endin i cycle o deith an rebirth (saṃsāra),[13][14][15] file i Mahayana tradeetion emphasises i Bodhisattva-ideal, far een wirks fur i liberation o aw beins. I Buddhist canon is vast, wi a hantle o different textual collects in differ leids (sic as Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan an Cheenese).

I Theravāda brainch hæs æ braid fallæin in Sri Lanka an in Sootheast Asia an aw, maistli Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, an Cambodie. I Mahāyāna brainch — fit includes i tradeetions o Zen, Pure Land, Nichiren, Tiantai, Tendai, an Shingon — is maistli practicit in Nepal, Bhutan, Cheena, Malaysie, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, an Japan. Vajrayāna (lit. 'Indestructible Vehicle'), æ body o teachins attributit tæ Indie adepts, micht be viewt as æ separate brainch or tradeetion inwith Mahāyāna.[16] Tibetan Buddhism, fit preserves i Vajrayāna teachins o echt-century Indie, is practicit in iHimalayan kintras, an in Mongolie[15] an Russian Kalmykia an aw. Historicalli, till i early 2nt millennium, Buddhism wis wideli practicit in i Indie subcontinent;[17][18][19] it hæd æ fithaud tæ some extent elsewhaur in Asia, leik Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, an i Philippines.

Etymology[eedit | eedit soorce]

Buddhism is æ Indien releegion an philosophy fæ Gautama Buddha ("i Waukent Een"), æ Śramaṇa; foo leeved in Sooth Asia c. 6th or 5th century BCE.[13][20]

Followers o Buddhism, cawed Buddhists in Scots an Inglis, hæd referit tæ thaimsels as Sakyan-s or Sakyabhiksu in auncient Indie.[21] Buddhist scholart Donald S. Lopez asserts ey uisit i term Bauddha an aw, awtho scholart Richard Cohen asserts at i term wis uised ainli bi aidders tæ descrive Buddhists.[22]

Main airticle: The Buddha

Details o Gautama Buddha's life are mentiont in mony Early Buddhist Texts bit are inconsistent. His social backgrund an life details are difficult tæ pruive, an i preceese dates are swidderin, awtho i 5t century BCE seems tæ be i best estimate.[13][note 1]

Early texts hæ Gautama Buddha's faimily nemme as "Gautama" (Pali: Gotama), file some texts gie Siddhartha as his faimily nemme. He wis born in Lumbini, praisent-day Nepal, an growed up in Kapilavastu,[30] æ toun in i Ganges Carse, near i modren Nepal–Indie mairch, an at he spent his life in fit is modren Bihar[32] an Uttar Pradesh i noo.[33][13] Some hagiographic leegends state at his faider wis æ keeng namit Suddhodana, his midder wis Queen Maya.[34] Scholarts sic leik Richard Gombrich conseeder is æ jubish claim acause æ combination o evidents suggests he wis born in i Shakya community, fit wis governit bi æ small oligarchy or republic-leik council far ere war næ ranks bit far seniority maitert insteid.[33][37] Some o i stories aboot Gautama Buddha, his life, his teachins, an claims aboot i society he growed up in may hæ been feingit an interpolatit at æ later tim intæ i Buddhist texts.[33][38]

Accordin æo early texts sic leik i Pali Ariyapariyesanā-sutta ("I discoorse on i noble seekin", MN 26) an hits Cheenese parallel at MĀ 204, Gautama Buddha wis movit bi i sufferin (dukkha) o life an deith, an hits endless repetition due tæ rebirth.[39] Sicweys, he set oot on æ seekin tæ airt oot liberation fæ dreein (kent as "nirvana" an aw).[40] Early texts an biographies state at Gautama Buddha first studiet unner twa teachers o meditation, nameli Āḷāra Kālāma (Sanskrit: Arada Kalama) an Uddaka Ramaputta (Sanskrit: Udraka Ramaputra), learin meditation an pheelosophy, parteecularli i meditative atteenment o "i sphere o næhinness" fæ i forgane, an "i sphere o naider perception nor næ-perception" fæ i latter.[41][42][46]

Fandin this teachins tæ be insuffeecient tæ atteen his goal, he turnt tæ i practeese o commaundin asceticism, fit includit æ strict fastin regime an various forms o breith control. 'Is fell short o atteenin his goal an aw, an en he turnt tæ i meditative praceese o dhyana. He famousli sat in meditation ablo æ Ficus religiosa tree — cawed i Bodhi Tree i noo — in i toun o Bodh Gaya an attened "Awaukenin" (Bodhi).[47]

Accordin tæ various early texts leik i Mahāsaccaka-sutta, an i Samaññaphala Sutta, on awaukenin, Gautama Buddha gaint insight intæ i wirkings o karma an his umfile lives; achievin i endin o i mental aggles (asavas), i endin o dreein, an i end o rebirth in saṃsāra an aw. 'Is event broucht certainty aboot i Middle Wey as i richt bruid o speeritual practeece tæ end dreein an aw.[48][49] As æ fully enlightent Buddha, he attractit follærs an foondit æ Sangha (monastic order).[33] He hild i rest o his life teachin i Dharma he hæd diskivert, an en deed, achievin "final nirvana", at i age o 80 in Kushinagar, Indie.[50][51]

Gautama Buddha's teachins war propagatit bi his followers, fit in i laist centuries o i 1st millennium BCE becam various Buddhist schuils o thoucht, ilk ane wi hits ainbasket o texts containin differ readins an authentic teachins o Gautama Buddha;[13][52] this ower tim evolvit intæ mony tradeetions o fit i mair well knawn an widespread in i modren era are Theravada, Mahayana an Vajrayana Buddhism.[53][13][56]

Fower Noble Suiths– dukkha an hits endin[eedit | eedit soorce]

I Fower Suiths express i basic orientation o Buddhism: we crave an cling tæ impermanent states an hings, fit is dukkha, "incapable o saitisfeeing" an pinefu.[59][60] 'Is keeps us caucht in saṃsāra, i undevaulin cycle o repeatit rebirth, dukkha, an deein agin.[note 2] Bit 'ere is æ wey tæ leeberation fæ 'is undevaulin cycle[66] tæ i state o nirvana, namely follæing i Noble Echtfold Bruid.[note 3]

I truith o dukkha is i basic insicht 'at life in 'is mundane warld, wi hits clingin and greenin tæ impermanent states an hings[59] is dukkha, an unsaitisfactory.[77][78] Dukkha can be owersett as "incapable o saitisfeein", "i unsaitisfactory naitur an i general shogglyness o aw condeetiont phenomena"; or "pinefu".[59][60] Dukkha is for common owersett as "dulein", bit 'is isnæ accurate, sin hit refers næ tæ episodic dulein, bit tæ i intrinsically unsaitisfactory naitur o temporar states an hings, includin pleisant bit temporar experiences.[80] We expect happiness fæ states an hings fit are impermanent, an tharefore cannæ atteen real happiness.

In Buddhism, dukkha is een o i tree merks o existence, alang wi impermanence an anattā (non-self).[81] Buddhism, leik idder major Indien releegions, ledges 'at awhing is impermanent (anicca), bit, unlike 'em, ledges 'at 'ere isæ permanent sel or saul in onyhin leevin (anattā) an aw.[82] I ignorance or misperception (avijjā) 'at onyhin is permanent or 'at 'ere is sel in ony body is considert æ wrang kennin, an i primary soorce o clingin an dukkha.[83][84][85]

I cycle o rebirth[eedit | eedit soorce]

Saṃsāra[eedit | eedit soorce]

Saṃsāra means "wanderin" or "warld", wi i connotation o cyclic, circuitous chinge.[86][87] Hit refers tæ i theory o rebirth an "cyclicality o aw life, maiter, existence", æ fundamental assumption o Buddhism, as wi aw major Indien releegions.[87][88] Samsara in Buddhism is considert tæ be dukkha, unsaitisfactory an pinefu,[89] perpetuatit bi greenin an avidya (ignorance), an i resultin karma.[87][90][91] Liberation fæ 'is cycle o existence, nirvana, hæs buin i foond an i maist important heestorical justification o Buddhism.[92][13]

Buddhist texts ledge 'at rebirth can occur in sax realms o existence, namely tree guid realms (heivenly, demi-god, human) an tree ill realms (beastie, hungrt ghaists, hellish).[note 4] Samsara ends gin æ body atteens nirvana, i "blawin oot" o i afflictions throu insicht intæ impermanence an "næ-sel".[94][95][96]

Rebirth refers tæ æ process whaurbi bodies gæ throu æ succession o lifetims as een o mony possible forms o sentient life, ilk ane runnin fæ conception tæ deith.[97] In Buddhist thoucht, is rebirth dæsnæ involve æ soul or ony fixed substance. 'Is is acause i Buddhist doctrine o anattā (Sanskrit: anātman, næsel doctrine) rejects i concepts o æ permanent sel or æ unchingin, eternal saul foond in aidder releegions.[98][99]

I Buddhist tradeetions hæ tradeetionalli disgree'd on fit hit is in æ body 'at is reborn, and foo quickly i rebirth occurs efter deith an aw.[100][101] Some Buddhist tradeetions ledge 'at "næsel" doctrine means 'at 'ere is næ endurin sel, bit 'ere is avacya (inexpressible) personality (pudgala) fit migrates fæ een life tæ anidder.[100] I majority o Buddhist tradeetions, in contrast, ledge 'at vijñāna (æ body's alistness) thou evolvin, exists as æ continuum an is i mechanistic basis o fit drees i rebirth process.[77][100] I quality o een's rebirth depends on i meerit or demeerit gaint bi een's karma (i.e. actions), an 'at fit is accresst on eens's behauf bi æ family member.[104] Buddhism developit æ complex cosmology tæ expleen i various realms or planes o rebirth an aw.[89]

Explanatory notes[eedit | eedit soorce]

  1. ↑ Buddhist texts such as the Jataka tales of the Theravada Buddhist tradition, and early biographies such as the Buddhacarita, the Lokottaravādin Mahāvastu, the Sarvāstivādin Lalitavistara Sūtra, give different accounts about the life of the Buddha; many include stories of his many rebirths, and some add significant embellishments.[23][24] Keown and Prebish state, "In the past, modern scholars have generally accepted 486 or 483 BCE for this [Buddha's death], but the consensus is now that they rest on evidence which is too flimsy.[25] Scholars are hesitant to make unqualified claims about the historical facts of the Buddha's life. Most accept that he lived, taught and founded a monastic order, but do not consistently accept all of the details contained in his biographies."[26][27][28][29]
  2. ↑ On samsara, rebirth and redeath:
    * Paul Williams: "All rebirth is due to karma and is impermanent. Short of attaining enlightenment, in each rebirth one is born and dies, to be reborn elsewhere in accordance with the completely impersonal causal nature of one's own karma. The endless cycle of birth, rebirth, and redeath, is samsara."[61]
    * Buswell and Lopez on "rebirth": "An English term that does not have an exact correlate in Buddhist languages, rendered instead by a range of technical terms, such as the Sanskrit Punarjanman (lit. "birth again") and Punabhavan (lit. "re-becoming"), and, less commonly, the related PUNARMRTYU (lit. "redeath")."[62]

    See also Perry Schmidt-Leukel (2006) pp. 32–34,[63] John J. Makransky (1997) p. 27.[64] for the use of the term "redeath." The term Agatigati or Agati gati (plus a few other terms) is generally translated as 'rebirth, redeath'; see any Pali-English dictionary; e.g. pp. 94–95 of Rhys Davids & William Stede, where they list five Sutta examples with rebirth and re-death sense.[65]
  3. ↑ Graham Harvey: "Siddhartha Gautama found an end to rebirth in this world of suffering. His teachings, known as the dharma in Buddhism, can be summarized in the Four Noble truths."[67] Geoffrey Samuel (2008): "The Four Noble Truths [...] describe the knowledge needed to set out on the path to liberation from rebirth."[68] See also [69][70][71][61][72][67][73][web 1][web 2]

    The Theravada tradition holds that insight into these four truths is liberating in itself.[74] This is reflected in the Pali canon.[75] According to Donald Lopez, "The Buddha stated in his first sermon that when he gained absolute and intuitive knowledge of the four truths, he achieved complete enlightenment and freedom from future rebirth."[web 1]

    The Maha-parinibbana Sutta also refers to this liberation.[web 3] Carol Anderson: "The second passage where the four truths appear in the Vinaya-pitaka is also found in the Mahaparinibbana-sutta (D II 90–91). Here, the Buddha explains that it is by not understanding the four truths that rebirth continues."[76]

    On the meaning of moksha as liberation from rebirth, see Patrick Olivelle in the Encyclopædia Britannica.[web 4]
  4. ↑ Earlier Buddhist texts refer to five realms rather than six realms; when described as five realms, the god realm and demi-god realm constitute a single realm.[93]
  5. ↑ This is a contested number. Official numbers from the Chinese government are lower, while other surveys are higher. According to Katharina Wenzel-Teuber, in non-government surveys, "49 percent of self-claimed non-believers [in China] held some religious beliefs, such as believing in soul reincarnation, heaven, hell, or supernatural forces. Thus the 'pure atheists' make up only about 15 percent of the sample [surveyed]."[137]

"Donors adopted Sakyamuni Buddha's family name to assert their legitimacy as his heirs, both institutionally and ideologically. To take the name of Sakya was to define oneself by one's affiliation with the buddha, somewhat like calling oneself a Buddhist today.
  22. ↑ Beyond Enlightenment: Buddhism, Religion, Modernity by Richard Cohen. Routledge 1999. ISBN 0-415-54444-0. p. 33. Bauddha is "a secondary derivative of buddha, in which the vowel's lengthening indicates connection or relation. Things that are bauddha pertain to the buddha, just as things Saiva related to Siva and things Vaisnava belong to Visnu. ... baudda can be both adjectival and nominal; it can be used for doctrines spoken by the buddha, objects enjoyed by him, texts attributed to him, as well as individuals, communities, and societies that offer him reverence or accept ideologies certified through his name. Strictly speaking, Sakya is preferable to bauddha since the latter is not attested at Ajanta. In fact, as a collective noun, bauddha is an outsider's term. The bauddha did not call themselves this in India, though they did sometimes use the word adjectivally (e.g., as a possessive, the buddha's)."

For example, Buddhist texts assert that Buddha described himself as a kshatriya (warrior class), but states Gombrich, little is known about his father and there is no proof that his father even knew the term kshatriya.[35] Mahavira, whose teachings helped establish another major ancient religion Jainism, is also claimed to be ksatriya by his early followers. Further, early texts of both Jainism and Buddhism suggest they emerged in a period of urbanisation in ancient India, one with city nobles and prospering urban centres, states, agricultural surplus, trade and introduction of money.[36]
