Gautama Siddhartha was one of humanity’s wisest teachers. He lived in the middle of the 6th century BC in the northern plains of India. He taught a message of compassion and universal love. The message spread to all corners of Asia and shaped the culture of a continent. It continues till today, as one the great religions of the world, with millions of followers: Buddhism. 

The philosophy of Buddhism, was accepted with open arms whenever it went. It is a philosophy which looks always beyond the material aims of life to the eternal. Early Theravada Buddhism traveled in the 3rd century BC to Sri Lanka and to other countries of South-east Asia. In the First millennium AD, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism spread to Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, China, Tibet, Korea and finally to Japan and the northern countries of Asia.  


Buddhism has a great vision of the eternal harmony of the world. This faith, with its message of compassion, spread far and wide and shaped the culture of a continent. A culture of peace and gentleness which continues, even in the midst of the materialistic world of today.
