Historical Background of Buddhism and Religious and Moral Teachings: An Analytical Study

Abstract

Buddhism is one of the oldest and widely practiced religions in modern times. Traces of the beginnings of Buddhism date back to the fifth century BC. Buddhism originated in northeastern India and spread to Central Asia and Southeast Asia. There was a time when this religion was spread all over Asia. Buddhism is a religion and philosophy which encompasses various traditions, beliefs and practices, most of which are attributed to Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. It is generally believed that they deny the doctrine of God, soul, angels, resurrection and resurrection after death. In Vedic Dharma, the soul is considered to be Kawasali, eternal and unchanging, and God is considered to be omnipotent, so Gautama Buddha was against these ideas. Unlike Christianity, Judaism and other major religions, Buddhism denies the reality of the human soul. There is confusion in the belief. Therefore, in Buddhism, there are two opinions about the belief in the soul. For this reason, one of the duties of Buddhists is to abstain from the idea of ​​the soul. During its expansion, it (Buddhism) underwent major changes, and at times, fundamental changes took place. This is an analytical study and data consists of books, articles and online sources. Since there are different sects in Buddhism, such as Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. As Buddhism became divided into sects, so did the teachings of the Qadras. For this reason, the Sutras of each sect consist of countless volumes, although their authorship is many centuries later, they are still recognized as the words of Gautama Buddha. Thus Buddhism as a whole is actually a family of religions rather than a single religion. In practice, it has made its way through reconciliation with local religions and beliefs. At present, the number of Buddhists around the world is close to 535 million. Sindh was ruled by Buddhists in the 7th century AD, but today there are only a handful of Buddhists left in Sindh. The ancient history of Buddhism is scattered in Pakistan, and by preserving it, Pakistan can become an attractive country for Buddhist tourists from all over the world.
