Buddhism is a philosophical and religious tradition that originated in India sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. It is based on teachings attributed to a man called Guatama Buddah, born Siddhārtha Gautama. Buddha is a title that means "Awakened One" or "Enlightened One”.  The goal of Buddhism is to overcome dukkha, or suffering in life, and end saṃsāra or the cycle of our reincarnation through the attainment of parinirvana.  This video will serve as an introduction to Buddhism covering some history, core philosophical and religious concepts. It will give some personal thoughts at the end on how right and helpful Buddhism really is today, including this idea of nirvana.  0:00 Buddhism and Its Goal 0:58 Theravāda and Mahāyāna 1:12 The Pali Tipitaka 1:45 The Second Urbanization 2:12 The Śramaṇa 2:32 Samsara and Karma 3:51 Birth and History of Siddhartha Guatama 5:12 The Middle Way 5:40 The Four Nobel Truths 7:00 Anatta 7:32 The Nobel Eightfold Path 8:38 Ethics of Buddhi
