#buddhology Buddhism was founded by Sakyamuni in ancient India before the 6th century BC. It is one of the three major religions in the world along with Christianity and Islam. "Buddha" is the abbreviation of Buddha, which means the enlightened one, and "teaching" can be understood as religion or education, which means the Buddha's universal and inherited education to the public^[[[Buddhism is actually not a religion]]]. Buddhism generally pays attention to the purity and enlightenment of the human soul. Buddhism believes that the world follows the cycle of cause and effect. Only by achieving enlightenment can one transcend [[rinne, Saṃsāra, 輪迴|the cycle of life and death]]. After Sakyamuni's [[Nirvana]], Buddhism gradually spawned different sects.
