Buddhist Masters<br />
Buddhism is a religion based on the teachings of Gautam Buddha<br />
between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE. The main aim of Buddhism<br />
is to help sentient beings eliminate suffering by removing ignorance and<br />
desires and attaining Nirvana or enlightenment.<br />
There are three main branches of Buddhism-Theravada(teachings of the<br />
elders), Mahayana(the great vehicle) and Vajrayana(the thunderbolt<br />
vehicle). Sometimes Vajrayana is also referred to as a part of Mahayana.<br />
Theravada is practised in Sri Lanka and South East Asia like Thailand,<br />
Cambodia, Laos etc, Mahayana is practised in East Asia like China,<br />
Japan, Singapore Vietnam etc and Vajrayana is practised in Tibet and<br />
Mongolia.<br />
