zen
It is used in Buddhism as a way of achieving spiritual enlightenment. They believe it is good for your body and mind.
Followers of the Buddha are called Buddhists.
Buddhism, I believe.
There are no rituals in Buddhism, except that we bow to each other and to everyone. The Buddha did not believe in rituals as an aid in attaining enlightenment.
Buddhism evolved by that buddha shared his knowledge around Asia and the followers decided to become Buddhism. Today in 2012 there are not many people that believe in Buddha.
They believe in enlightenment that they will overcome sufferinfg and they also believe if they die its not the end of their live they get reborn again as something new.
Fadianism is a Chinese religious movement that emerged in the 16th century, blending elements of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Followers of Fadianism believe in a supreme deity, the Three Pure Ones, and emphasize moral conduct, filial piety, and spiritual cultivation. The movement promotes harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity as a path to personal enlightenment and social harmony.
Overcome the suffuring that is a natural partof human life
The Buddha held that it was not necessary to believe in gods in order to achieve enlightenment, but that his followers could believe in gods if they so wished. A great majority of Buddhists do believe in a creator god, whether the Abrahamic God, or another. It is certainly acceptable within some schools of Buddhism for their followers to believe in God, as the world's creator. ~That's correct. :-) I am a Buddhist, but I still believe in, love, and accept in my heart God. ^_^
I am no expert but I think Buddhists do not believe in any specific god but do believe in reincarnation and the way to enlightenment is to give up material possesions
A Fakir has similar beliefs to that of Buddhism. They believe that each persons life is centered on a spiritual quest for God from within.
It is definitely not supernatural or mystical since we believe in no immortal, omniscient god; but for me I would have to say that it is a compassion and caring for all beings that brings me to Buddhism.
