=Buddhism is a family of beliefs and practices, considered by many to be a religion. A Buddhist is one who takes refuge in The Three Jewels: the Buddha (the Awakened One), the Dharma (the Teaching of the Buddha) and the Sangha (the Community of Buddhists). Most Buddhists live in Asia. The Buddhists' leader is named the Dala Lama. They believe that whoever the leader of their religion is has lived another life I could even be an animal or another person. == == ==Buddhism is a religion to about 300 million people around the world. The word comes from budhi, to awaken. It has its origins about 2,500 years ago when Siddhartha Gotama, known as the Buddha, was himself awakened (enlightened) at the age of 35. Buddhists pray 4 times a day, morning, midday, afternoon and in the evening.=
