Buddhist statues photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Buddhism began with the teachings of a man called Siddhartha Gautama who lived in India about 2,500 years ago. (The Thai year is currently 2542 which dates from the time of the Buddha.) The Buddha knew from his own experience that happiness does not come from great luxury nor from great hardship. He taught people to follow a Middle Path between those two extremes. By following this path
people could overcome greed and desire, and the unhappiness they caused, and lead wiser, more caring lives.
