What is Buddhism?
Buddhism is a religion to about 300 million people around the world.
The word comes from ‘budhi’, ‘to awaken’. It has its origins about 2,500
years ago when Siddhartha Gotama, known as the Buddha, was himself
awakened (enlightened) at the age of 35.
• Is Buddhism a Religion?
To many, Buddhism goes beyond religion and is more of a philosophy or
‘way of life’. It is a philosophy because philosophy ‘means love of
wisdom’ and the Buddhist path can be summed up as:
(1) to lead a moral life,
(2) to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions, and
(3) to develop wisdom and understanding.
• How Can Buddhism Help Me?
Buddhism explains a purpose to life, it explains apparent injustice and
inequality around the world, and it provides a code of practice or way
of life that leads to true happiness.
• Why is Buddhism Becoming Popular?
Buddhism is becoming popular in western countries for a number of
reasons, The first good reason is Buddhism has answers to many of the
problems in modern materialistic societies. It also includes (for those
who are interested) a deep understanding of the human mind (and natural
therapies) which prominent psychologists around the world are now
discovering to be both very advanced and effective.
• Who Was the Buddha?
Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located
in Nepal, in 563 BC. At 29, he realised that wealth and luxury did not
guarantee happiness, so he explored the different teachings religions
and philosophies of the day, to find the key to human happiness. After
six years of study and meditation he finally found ‘the middle path’ and
was enlightened. After enlightenment, the Buddha spent the rest of his
life teaching the principles of Buddhism — called the Dhamma, or Truth —
until his death at the age of 80.
• Was the Buddha a God?
He was not, nor did he claim to be. He was a man who taught a path to enlightenment from his own experience.
• Do Buddhists Worship Idols?
Buddhists sometimes pay respect to images of the Buddha, not in
worship, nor to ask for favours. A statue of the Buddha with hands
rested gently in its lap and a compassionate smile reminds us to strive
to develop peace and love within ourselves. Bowing to the statue is an
expression of gratitude for the teaching.
• Is Buddhism Scientific?
Science is knowledge which can be made into a system, which depends
upon seeing and testing facts and stating general natural laws. The core
of Buddhism fit into this definition, because the Four Noble truths
(see below) can be tested and proven by anyone in fact the Buddha
himself asked his followers to test the teaching rather than accept his
word as true. depends more on understanding than faith

One part about Guru Nanak from an old animated TV series “Religions of the World: Our World Faiths Animated (1998)”.
“Illustrating brilliant renditions of different faiths and cultures
around the world, this highly acclaimed animated series from the BBC
captures the essence and basic tenets of eight religions—Christianity,
Judaism, Islam, Sufism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Confucianism.
Each 15-minute segment (Buddhism and Hinduism are 30 minutes each)
offers easy-to-grasp stories through soothing characters, pleasant and
culturally significant music, and a mixture of cel animation, paintings,
and Claymation. Though appropriate for all ages, this artistically
valid series is a great way to capture the interest and enthusiasm of
younger students.”
You can get the whole series on DVD http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005YRV7

Spiritual Community of The True Followers of The Path Shown by The Awakened Noble One
VIII. The Similes for the Refuges
In the traditional Prabuddha Bharath method of exposition no account or treatment of a theme is considered complete unless it has been illustrated by similes. Therefore we conclude this explanation of going for refuge with a look at some of the classical similes for the objects of refuge. Though many beautiful similes are given in the texts, from fear of prolixity we here limit ourselves to four.
The first simile compares the Awakened Noble One to the sun, for his appearance in the world is like the sun rising over the horizon. His Practice of the true Doctrine is like the net of the sun’s rays spreading out over the earth, dispelling the darkness and cold of the night, giving warmth and light to all beings. The Spiritual Community of The True Followers of The Path Shown by The Awakened Noble One is like the beings for whom the darkness of night has been dispelled, who go about their affairs enjoying the warmth and radiance of the sun.
The second simile compares the Awakened Noble One to the full moon, the jewel of the night-time sky. His Practice of the Doctrine is like the moon shedding its beams of light over the world, cooling off the heat of the day. The Spiritual Community of The True Followers of The Path Shown by The Awakened Noble One is like the persons who go out in the night to see and enjoy the refreshing splendor of the moonlight.

In the third simile the Awakened Noble One is likened to a great raincloud spreading out across the countryside at a time when the land has been parched with a long summer’s heat. The Practice of the true Doctrine is like the downpour of the rain, which inundates the land giving water to the plants and vegetation. The Spiritual Community of The True Followers of The Path Shown by The Awakened Noble One is like the plants — the trees, shrubs, bushes, and grass — which thrive and flourish when nourished by the rain pouring down from the cloud.
The fourth simile compares the Awakened Noble One to a lotus flower, the paragon of beauty and purity. Just as a lotus grows up in a muddy lake, but rises above the water and stands in full splendor unsoiled by the mud, so the Awakened Noble One, having grown up in the world, overcomes the world and abides in its midst untainted by its impurities. The Awakened Noble One’s practice of the true Doctrine is like the sweet perfumed fragrance emitted by the lotus flower, giving delight to all. And the Spiritual Community of The True Followers of The Path Shown by The Awakened Noble One is like the host of bees who collect around the lotus, gather up the pollen, and fly off to their hives to transform it into honey.
