What are the laws and rules in Buddhism?
There are no actual rules or laws in Buddhism because Buddha stated that no one should believe anything that comes to them unless it makes sense with them and their moral values. However, Buddhism does have Four Noble Truths and The Eight Fold Path which state how to reach enlightenment and many buddhists practice generosity, humility, humanity, honesty, respect, benevolence, responsibility, and many other humane values.
What is the punishment for someone who has a lot of desire in Buddhism?
Buddhism isn't into "punishment" as the Abrahamic religions. In those religions sin or wrong doing generally leads to eternal torment with no escape in the afterlife. In Buddhism each life cycle of death and rebirth leads to another learning opportunity to find the way to run your life better. As is stated in the Four Noble Truths, all life is associated with suffering (in the sense of unsatisfactory outcomes), this is caused by desire and unskillful actions of all sorts. As consequence the result (not the punishment) of desire is an unsatisfactory life and a need to continue in the ongoing series of reincarnations.

Who was Buddha and what is Buddhism?
Siddhartha Gautama, otherwise known as Buddha, was a wealthy prince whose father had heard a prediction for the young boy's future of either becoming a great leader in the political/royal sense or a religious/philosophical leader. His father feared that his child might grow up to choose the second choice and decided to limit his son's exposure to things that might lead him away from his royal life. Buddhism is the philosophy/religion based around the Buddha's teachings of the four noble truths and the eightfold path. By practicing in a very deliberate and conscious manner one is supposed to be able to attain enlightenment. Buddhism can be both a philosophy and a religion. There is no god in the original form of Buddhism, but from cultural influences, worshiping practices have been integrated into many forms of Buddhism.
Is the Noble Eightfold Path a part of Buddhism?
In a sense it is. Buddhism has no creed that every Buddhist has to accept. Rather than thinking of it as a religion, it's better to think of it as a set of practices designed to reduce suffering. A Buddhist sage is someone who has awakened and leads an awakened life. The Noble Eightfold Path is a description of how a sage actually lives. There's nothing supernaturalistic about it. It's simply a map for those who want to emulate sages. .
In what sense can Buddha be called the Great Physician?

How do you speak Buddhism?

Who do peasants work for?
Theoretically, peasants worked for themselves, using the funds from sales of agricultural to pay rent to landowners. In essence, they could be considered an early form of the "share-cropper." Peasants were, in a broader sense of the word, sometimes defined as being anyone not of noble blood and so were "ruled" by the nobility.
