What Is Buddhism?

What is Buddhism?

The idea of a supreme creationist god is not relevant in Buddhist belief. Buddha is not revered as a god, but as a person who reached total enlightenment (or Nirvana). Buddhism teaches souls are liberated to Nirvana by reaching a state of selflessness though eliminating cravings, doing acts of kindness, doing no harm, and meditation.
