After what I have learned in my humanity class, Buddhism is a religion that attracted me the most. I interested in Buddhism because in my native country, Vietnam, 90 percents of people are Buddhist. Now I have a change to learn and find out more about the popular religion in my country. Furthermore, I'm also attracted by the history of Buddha, who had found Buddhism.
             Buddha was born in Kapilavastu, in what is now Southern Nepal, about 563 B.C. Siddharhta Gautama was his name. According to tradition, Siddharhta's birth was predicted that he would be either a great Universal Emperor or Universal teacher; and that four sings would show him which course he should follow. At the age of twenty-nine, in spit of his father's effort, he finally saw the sign showed that he might become the Buddha. In order to become the Buddha, he had to solve the riddle of suffering. One day, Siddhartha seated himself beneath a large tree until the riddle of suffering was solved; he was attacked by all kinds. After 49days, he had solved the riddle of suffering and knew the truth; he knew what men had to do to overcome the sufferings.
             Buddhism is the great oriental religion found by Gautama Buddha. Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both natural and spiritual. It is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things. Buddhism is a religion which shares few concepts with Christianity. For example, they do not believe in transcendent or immanent or any other type of God or Gods, the need for a personal savior, the power of prayer, eternal life in a heaven or hell after death, etc. They do believe in reincarnation: the concept that one must go through many cycles of birth, living, and death.
             Today, Buddhism survives in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and in the Southeast Asian countries
