Budism

Buddhism originated in the Indian sub-continent around the fifth century BCE. There are about 535 million Buddhists, representing 7% to 8% of the world's population.

There are three separate collections of sacred scriptures called the Pali Canon, Chinese Canon, and Tibetan Canon, which teach the belief that human life is suffering and that meditation, spiritual and physical labor, and good behavior are the ways to achieve enlightenment or nirvana.
