"How has buddhism impacted the world today"@en . . "Buddhism as traditionally conceived is a path of salvation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality. Buddhism encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices that are largely based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pali/Sanskrit for \"The Awakened One\") The estimations on the number of Buddhist in the world vary according to different sources available, between 350 million and 500 million.
