“It is better to conquer oneself than to win a thousand battles.” Then victory is yours. It cannot be taken away from you, neither by angels nor by demons, neither in heaven nor in hell” (Buddha Quotes, 2012). Buddhism was founded when the Buddha died after the age of eighty. The Buddha, who was Siddhartha Gautama, left the comfort of his home around the age of forty to seek meaning in the suffering around him (Boeree, 2000). It was not until the full moon of May that Siddhartha became the Buddha, the Enlightened One. After Siddhartha's death, five hundred monks met at Rajagrha (the first council) to debate the details and vote on the final version of the monastic code. The monastic code was memorized and translated into other languages ​​and remained an oral tradition for many years until the original unity of Buddhism began to break down. According to (Boeree, 2000), “traditionalists, now called Sthaviravada or “the way of the ancients,” developed a complex set of philosophical ideas beyond those elucidated by the Buddha. » Buddhism was created by a man who sought to find peace and happiness in the face of the suffering in the world. The Buddha created a means of worship, prayer, and places of worship to guide others to find themselves spiritually and eventually became known as the philosophical way of life. After the Buddha left his home in search of the meaning of suffering, he then collected all the knowledge he acquired and brought it back to his people. The Buddha taught his teachings for forty years and focused on guiding people to freedom from suffering. Even after the Buddha's death, his teachings continued and were always aimed solely at helping others free themselves from the suffering of the world. There is in the middle of paper...... that they cleanse themselves and the suffering of the world around them. Buddhists believe that people from all backgrounds can enter the Buddhist community as monastic renunciates or lay devotees (Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies, 2013). “Don’t believe in anything just because you’ve heard it. Don't believe in anything just because many people talk about it and rumor it. Do not believe in anything just because it is written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything just on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been passed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that something is in accordance with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of all, then accept it and live up to it - Gautama Buddha. » (Sources of insight, 2012).
