Buddhism

Buddhism came to Britain in the fifties after WWII. Sri Lanka sent missionary monks to London. We don't know the exact date of when Buddhists came to Britain, but historians can make a guess.

by eating a lot of food

To avoid paying heavy taxes, a lot of poor people went to the Buddhist Temples and became monks or nuns. As a consequence, Less people worked in the field, and the revenue of the government sharply reduced. Every time it occurred, the emperor ordered to have the temples destroyed and the monks or nuns returned home.

Buddha isn't really a guys name, buddha is Siddhartha Gautama, a prince who gave up everything to solve poverty and hunger. He started Buddhism. Buddha means "The enlightened one". His folowers called him that. The Dali Lama is one of his reincarnations, he is either the 14th or the 17th. I'm not sure, I forget.

I hope this helped a little!

He is the 14th Dali Lama

the political influence of Buddhism in the tang empire was the silk roads

it was not a native religion but it adpted to Chinese ways and thrived during this period.

I think you mean the Silk Road, a trading route and pathway for cultural transmission that extended from China all the way to Egypt and into Europe.

Buddhism is famous not only to the peasants but also to the rich and famous. http://www.adherents.com/largecom/fam_buddhist.html To answer your question; because it helps the people to know the causes of their sufferings and ways on how to eliminate these causes and therefor eliminate the sufferings. Buddhism is mainly the cessation of sufferings through one own's effort without any help from any divinities. Buddhism is a way of life. It's not a religion; if we compare it to the definition of religion.

Catholics remember and pray for those who "Sleep in Christ" (those who believe) and are waiting for God to bring them to heaven.

Buddha means the Fully Enlightened One. He became the Buddha through the realisation of the intrinsic / true nature of all things in the universe, including existence / mind & body / life.

It's a personal thing, to observe: to observe a religion, a belief; to believe in a philosophy; to accept an ideology. People might be looking for structure for their daily lives, a support system after going through a crisis, a belief system to give them faith.

Siddhartha Gautama was born in Lumbini and raised in the small kingdom or principality of Kapilvastu, both of which are in modern day Nepal.

Buddhists do not believe in a single, omniscient God. The Buddhist understanding of the universe includes a recognition that there are a lot of aspects of this universe, this reality, that we don't understand. Through analytical meditation and other practices we can understand the deeper truths about this reality; truths that can't be understood with our every day minds. When we reach enlightenment we will understand it, and until then there is no reason to believe that there either is or isn't a God. Buddhists aren't atheists, but they also aren't theists.

The Buddha himself indicated that there is no role for gods in mankind's achieving enlightenment. Each person must, over the course of many cycles of death and rebirth, find and follow his own path. The Abrahanic faiths' role of a god blessing, condemning, saving his followers is not part of Buddhism.

At first he ruled like his grandfather, Chandragupta Maurya, using warfare and violence. However, after a battle, he felt sorrow over the murder and suffering that war gives, and therefore decides to rule his empire through peace and non-violence. He converted to Buddhism and encouraged many people to do the same by spreading Buddhist ideas in pillars throughout the many roads he built.

Nirvana is defined as the perfect state of bliss in Buddhism. It is considered the undisturbed stillness once the flames of desire, hatred and delusion have been put out in the mind. It is the liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth, life, death and reincarnation.

Asoka, the emperor of India, was the cause;

because he was a faithful Buddhist, so he tried to spread the Buddhism to the world, and he did. By using his empire's influence, Buddhism was spread to Southern Asia and today's middle east; few hundred years after he died, Buddhism was introduced to China in Eastern Han dynasty

Buddhism came to China during the 1st century CE. It was not welcomed by the established Confucians and Daoists because it was a foreign religion that taught the individual was more important than the whole of society. The Chinese eventually adopted Buddhism because it answered questions that the other two could not. These included where suffering came from and how to rid oneself of it. The "Four Noble Truths" of Buddhism are: 1) life is suffering; 2) the source of suffering is desire; 3) the cessation of desire can end suffering; and 4) the way to do this is to follow the 8 fold path. Later on, Mahayana Buddhism became very popular because it taught people that they could be taken into the Buddhist heavens if they only payed homage to various saviors like the Buddha and his helpers.

The first nuns had relatively comparable status to the monks in early Buddhism, that is they were allowed to travel, live alone in the forests, beg for alms in the cities; they preached (even to kings), debated other heretics, and discussed the teachings with each other; many attained enlightenment; ordained each other; they composed poems we still have to this day.

The Buddhist canon has the Buddha setting up the nun's sangha with heavier restrictions at the outset but there is some evidence that this is a later addition. The tales in which restrictions were added as time went on seem more likely, as this was the Buddha's style -- to resolve a problem once it arises, rather than to pre-emptively put rules in place to prevent possibilities from arising -- so for example, women were eventually required to live in community and not go alone into the forest after incidents of rape occurred when they were alone.

In the lay community, there was no difference between the roles of men and women as far as the Buddha was concerned, except that his monks weren't put in positions where they'd be tempted by lay women. There were several wealthy and powerful women who were followers of the Buddha's, as well as many ordinary women who sought his advice, which he gave.

The Buddhist cave temples along Silk Road reflect the beliefs of Chinese people. The art was created during the Han dynasty.

Actually what I have read is that Buddha was born 563 BC. and died in 483 BC. This person is the actual Buddha. There have been many reincarnations of him that are called the Dalli lama
