Buddhism is a philosophy of life expounded by
Gautama Buddha ("Buddha" means "enlightened one"), who lived and taught in
northern Inda in the 6th Century B.C. The Buddha was not a god and the
philosophy of Buddhism does not entail any theistic world-view. The teachings of
the Buddha are aimed solely to liberate sentient beings from suffering.
The Basic Teachings of Buddha: The Three Universal Truth, The Four Noble Truths,
The Noble Eightfold Path is core of Buddhism.
In Buddhism, the law of karma, says "for every
event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by
the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its
cause was skillful or unskillful." Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that
responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them.
