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.

Buddhism is the world’s fourth-largest religion, with over 520 million followers or over 7% of the global population, known as Buddhists. Noah Rasheta has a GREAT website and if you listen to podcasts be sure to check his out, it’s definitely one of my favorites!
