Buddhism – a religious teaching propagated by the Buddha and his followers, which declares that by destroying greed, hatred, and delusion, which are the causes of all suffering, man can attain perfect enlightenment. The most immemorial religion of all known and of three main world religions Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. Buddhism appeared five centuries before Christianity and twelve centuries before Islam. The founder of this religion according to religion's data is wandering preacher Shakyamuni whose real name was Saddhardi and who was called later as Buddha that literary means overshadowed with truth. It's considered that Buddha reincarnated for several times and so collected great wisdom and experience and only after that came back to earth as prince Gautama to share his wisdom with people and show them the right way. According to legend before Buddha's birth his mother saw a dream about white elephant penetrating to her through body side and in nine month she born son whose name was Saddhardi. He grew up in hermit of his palace and knew nothing about pain and sufferings of people, but that was a day when Buddha met bent old man and funeral and realized that world is not as perfect as he thought, so Buddha left his palace and started his wanderings around the world trying to find a way of revealing people from sufferings.

Some of historians don't believe that Buddha have ever existed as they say that Buddhism were developing for e few ages and sure one man wasn't able to create this as no person can live for several ages. The main idea of Buddhism is rejection of any form of desires, but in the same time Buddhism is against extreme. According to Buddhism everything in human's life should be within reasonable limits, one may not be leaded by its desires but he also may not reject them at all. No matter that Buddhism claims that everything should be within reasonable limits though it razes any limits like limits between senses and mind or between regulations of social and religious morality. Buddhism rejects existence of material and spiritual and affirms that each of these aspects can't exist without other one, and if so the world is an inseparable unit of material and spiritual. According to Buddhism objective reality is just peculiar psychological process that engages the whole world, and psychology is one of the human's activity so human can't be distinct from the nature. Buddhism followers believes that all the people came from the nature and that there is no death there is only reincarnation, as one leaves it present body he pass into other body and it may be anything: an animal or an insect or human. As so, one may not kill any living creature as he may kill his ancestor in it. Buddhism admits nirvana as the higher form of unity to nature, they don't even consider that Buddha died they say he reached "mahaparinirvana" – "the great transition to nirvana".
