Buddhism is the first world and the leading religion of most of the regions of India, but now it also applies to the territories of many other states.The origin of Buddhism is connected with the name of Siddhartha Gautama, better known as the Buddha.
Gautama was the son of the Raja, who had hoped that his son would continue his work and also become famous ruler of India.Buddha in a very young age already had his own family, but remained not satisfied with their lives.As evidenced by the many scriptures, the father tried to shield from the outside world Gautama, the Buddha himself but soon learned about the many sufferings of the common people.From that moment, the young man leaves his family and goes in search of solution to the problem of the suffering people.
For many years he searched for truth in Judaism, studying all of the disciplines of yoga.For some time the Buddha lived in asceticism in-depth than himself into physical exhaustion and barely survived.Soon he came to the truth, which states that the cause of all human suffering is an irresistible desire, guiding man.According to the Buddha, all people have certain goals in life to which they aspire and do not neglect anything, just to achieve the desired.
Having learned this truth, Gautama went to the people in order to help many people to get rid of suffering, giving them their knowledge.After Buddha's death, Buddhism in a short time has spread to all regions of India.
There is the sacred book of Buddhism - Tipitaka, which is fraught with all truth.Buddhist scripture consists of three parts.The first part contains the rules are only for the higher rank of the Buddhists, the second - a kind of narrative of Buddha malignancy of human desires and his instructions to the right path, the third part - canonical Buddhist teachings.According to historians, the main book of Buddhism was written not by the Buddha and his disciples immediately after his death.

In 1871 in Myanmar was organized by the cathedral, which was attended by many of the monks of the state and created the Buddhist holy book of the Tipitaka.In drawing up the text took a long time.After the end of a demanding job to create the text of the scriptures carved on 729 marble slabs.Each plate concealing a Buddhist, was placed into a separate church.Thus, there was an amazing miniature town, consisting of the scriptures.
sacred book of Buddhism there is a parallel with the Pali law, which incorporates the 550 stories - dzhatok describing all the feats of the Buddha.Buddhist cult does not contain the complex rituals and send him only the monks who read kanoniyskie Buddhist texts.Lay people in India do not have the right to participate in worship.Currently, the sacred book of Buddhism Tipitaka translated into many European languages, so it is actively studied by many scientists.
