<p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:normal;">Buddhism is one of the oldest religions that has been around for many millennia. Those who follow the path of Buddhism believe that it is more of a philosophy than a religion, and devote themselves entirely to the teachings of the Buddha and the lessons located within the Pāli Canon. This vast school of knowledge is one that features more than 84,000 teachings by Buddha himself and countless more by ascended Buddhas who have since followed the path of enlightenment.</p><p style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:normal;">Choosing to follow your own path of enlightenment the Buddhist was is a sacred and powerful journey to be on. The journey includes countless opportunities to connect more deeply with the wisdom of the universe and the nature of yourself and the world around you. Through this, it is said that you deepen your experiences of good karma and find your way into the truest form of nirvana, or enlightenment.</p>
