The Buddhist religion sprouted in the India in the early 500s BC. It was founded by Buddha who tutored his followers on the need to escape the prisons of earthily pain by being reborn into their essence so that they can attain Nirvana. The faith has earned many followers into the modern times vaunting an upward of 300 million believers. It has also dissected into multiple sects, some of the most diverse of any religion, that have been rooted in all the seven continents principally across Asia.

The main pillar of this faith is the Buddha who is considered to be the integral supreme tutor and the way to the salvation of the soul. He signifies the meditative spirit that is instrumental in achieving Nirvana. This is what informs most of the creeds that are followed by the many sects that have branched from the original cult since the early days of the faith. The main significance of the main pillar or the founder is to live in one with oneself experiencing peacefulness of the soul.

The second pillar of the Buddhist religion is the creed or the teachings. These are contained in the Sanskrit or the wholly writ which details of the path that the follower should be guided through in the course of existence in order to earn a liberated spirit free of earthily influences. The third pillar is the community which means that the believers must develop a culture that will guide them into the emancipation of the soul through shared practices and teachings.
