🇬🇧 Buddhism meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

Buddhism is a religion that began in South Asia with a teacher called the Buddha. It teaches that life can have a lot of problems and hurt feelings, but we can suffer less by being kind, calm, and wise. Buddhists try to understand their thoughts, avoid hurting others, and often meditate (sit quietly and focus) to train their minds. They believe that by improving themselves on the inside—being less selfish, less angry, and more loving—they can eventually escape suffering and feel deep peace.
