  • The doctrine has since become world famous, with well known names such as Richard Gere, Colin Farrell and Paris Hilton practicing the philosophy. Many report it as being a great way to pick up women, and also a great way to beg outside of the Big Issue, particularly in raising awareness of "causes" and "personal issues". The philosophy is currently recognized by renowned Dictator/Spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, although those of the “Slow Vehicle” sect dislike him, they do acknowledge his general awesomeness and his shameless self-publicizing.

  • Buddhism, while not historically related to the Abrahamic religions, also is believed to channel Essence towards Heaven. Or, at least, the Essence goes somewhere -- otherwise, there would presumably be an extremely powerful ethereal Buddha roaming the Marches today. It remains a matter of some debate whether Heaven is really getting Buddhist Essence, or if the actions of Buddhists simply indirectly contribute towards Heavenly Words. Most agree that the evidence says it's a Divine religion, though, sending Essence to Heaven.
  • Buddhism (仏教 Bukkyō?) is a nontheistic religion based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha. In Toaru Majutsu no Index, Buddhism is mostly used as a base for certain forms of Magic.

Throughout its thousands of years of history, the Buddhist religion became practiced throughout the worlds of the Diaspora, including the Star Kingdom of Manticore. The astrogator of the superdreadnought HMS Manticore at the time of Honor Harrington's service onboard that ship was a Buddhist. (HH5)
  • Although the Legend of Zelda franchise is given a Medieval setting, there have been references to Buddhism on occasion. This is due to Buddhism being a religion in Japan, where Nintendo is headquartered.
  • Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch. While Buddhism remains most popular within Asia, both branches are now found throughout the world. Various sources put the number of Buddhists in the world at between 230 million and 500 million, making it the world's fourth-largest religion.
  • Buddhism was a religion practiced by individuals across the Verse.

  • Buddhism is a religion in some of the Civilization games.
  • Buddhism is a belief system on Earth, considered by many to be a religion, based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha in the 4th century BC. Buddhism originated in India and was practiced primarily in Asia. Among the teachings of the Buddha were the Four Noble Truths, which related to the nature of suffering. Brother Sihanouk ministered to the Buddhist temple of Starbase 47 as of 2265. (VAN novel: Harbinger) Lieutenant Jasminder Choudhury expressed reverence for Buddhist beliefs, as well as others. (TNG novel: Greater Than the Sum)
  • Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pāli/Sanskrit "the awakened one"). The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering, achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhism is traditionally conceived as a path of liberation attained through insight into the nature of the mind.
  • Labelled variously as a religion, philosophy and even sometimes a "science", Buddhism is probably one of the world's more confusing religions. A few things to note first: * No forms of Buddhism explicitly teach the existence of a creator god. Some reject the existence of all godlike beings, but not all. Others hold that God is equivalent to the Ultimate Reality that is sought via Enlightenment, though that does have slightly different connotations than most mainstream religions. * Siddhartha Gautama was the first declared-by-that-name Buddha (perfectly enlightened one) but there have been many others before him, and many beings of various stages of enlightenment since. * Buddhism is not necessarily a form of atheism. Some variations are perfectly compatible with atheism, but not
  • Buddhism is a family of beliefs and practices, considered by many to be a religion. A Buddhist is one who takes refuge in The Three Jewels: the Buddha (the Awakened One), the Dharma (the Teaching of the Buddha) and the Sangha (the Community of Buddhists). Various sources put the number of Buddhists in the world between 230 million to 500 million. Most Buddhists live in Asia, but adherents are found worldwide. Buddhism has spread through these main branches: Both branches then spread further into Europe and to the Americas.
  • Asian societies shaped by Buddhist traditions take a strong ethical stand in human affairs and sexual behavior in particular. However, unlike most other world religions, most variations of Buddhism do not go into details about what is right and what is wrong in what it considers mundane activities of life. Details of accepted or unaccepted human sexual conduct are not specifically mentioned in any of the religious scriptures in the Pali language. The most common formulations of Buddhist ethics are found the Five Precepts and the Eightfold Path, which state that one should neither be attached to nor crave sensual pleasure. These precepts take the form of voluntary, personal undertakings, not divine mandate or instruction. The third of the Five Precepts is "To refrain from committing sexual
  • Buddhism is a remarkably liberal major religion predominantly adhered to in eastern Asia and Japan. Most sects of the religion place little or no emphasis on the concept of a god or supernatural creator, they preach peace and wildlife conservation as well as looking after the environment. Buddhists believe in rebirth which is slightly different from reincarnation. Buddhists try to follow the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. They believe this leads to better rebirths or if the eightfold path is followed really well Buddhists believe we can achieve Nirvana, complete liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
  • The Buddha lived and taught in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is recognized by Buddhists as an awakened or enlightened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering through eliminating ignorance by way of understanding and seeing how dependence originates and eliminating craving, and thus attain the highest happiness known as Nirvana.
  • Buddhism is often described as a "a guide to life" or "a philosophy" rather than a religion in Western circles. Of course, all religions provide "a guide to life" to some extent, but this is especially true of Eastern religions, including Buddhism, in comparison with Abrahamic religions. It is especially true for the variants of Buddhism prevalent in the West, which often eschew mythological, cosmological and ritualistic aspects and emphasize the practice of meditation and psychological teachings.
  • A well-known popular Chinese and Japanese superstition was that rubbing the belly of a Buddha statue might bring one good luck. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident") Jack, a youth from Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania, told T'Mir that in Tibet the Buddhist monks meditated every day. (ENT: "Carbon Creek") While visiting Earth during the mid-22nd century, Doctor Phlox attempted to familiarize himself with the planet's religions. He spent two weeks at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery learning to sing a trichord (triad). (ENT: "Cold Front")
  • Many Buddhist sects believe in reincarnation which is a rebirth of the soul. While I (Kurt Kawohl) do not subscribe to that principle, I highly respect their philosophy and outside of that concept, in my humble opinion, their belief is beyond reproach. Understanding the Law of Karma requires deep meditation whereby the spirit can receive inspiration and enlightenment. Good karma helps to cleanse our spirit so that it can be transmitted; it helps by establishing lines of communications so that the spirit or soul can be received by The Supreme Spirit.
  • Buddhism is a religion and dharma that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on teachings attributed to Gautama Buddha, commonly known as the Buddha ("the awakened one"). According to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha lived and taught in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE in ancient Magadha kingdom. He is recognized by Buddhists as an awakened, divine, or enlightened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end their suffering through the elimination of ignorance and craving. Buddhists believe that this is accomplished through the direct understanding and perception of dependent origination and the Four Noble Truths. Two major extant branches of Buddhism are generally recogniz

  • It's also possible to be an evil Buddhist. This is called the "left-hand path", because left-handed people are inferior. It's actually a faster way to reach Nirvana, and you get to have a lot more sex, and therefore it's not as good. Many people from England and Gallifrey dig Buddhism, even though they've never actually met anyone from Asia, such as: A few people don't like it: But everyone else would be totally with it if they just heard more about it, man. If we put it on a kids' show, I'll bet the whole next generation would tune in.
