+==== Four Noble Truths ====
+Buddhism is based on the Four Noble Truths, which are the foundation of Buddhism, and the Eightfold Path, which is meant to lead to the cessation of suffering. The Four Noble Truths arose from Buddha Siddhartha Gautama's experience of "Awakening" (Enlightenment). Awakening is realized after prolonged meditation practice, or suddenly. "Awakened" is Sanskrit for "buddha," and this was the name Gautama took when he began preaching his teachings. [([[https://www.pbs.org/edens/thailand/buddhism.htm|PBS]])]
+==== Taught for 45 years ===
+The Buddha taught for 45 years. He left no direct transmissions; all his knowledge was passed on to his disciples, who wrote it down or passed it on orally after his death. He preached his teachings while traveling through northern India. At first, he mainly transmitted the teachings of Theravada (the longest-established Buddhist school among the early Buddhist schools, and its teachers derived their teachings directly from the Buddha), which were used to free oneself from one's suffering. The Great Way teachings, which emphasize the importance of wisdom and compassion to help oneself and others, are based on them. Finally, the Buddha gave the Vajrayana teachings (related to the practice of tantras), which served to recognize the nature of the mind. [([[https://www.karmaguen.org/buddhism/|Karma Guen]])]
+==== Spread ====
+In the 11th and 12th centuries, Theravada Buddhism (so-called Southern Buddhism) was known in Southeast Asian countries ( Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Indonesia Cambodia, Laos, and Bali). In contrast, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism (so-called Northern Buddhism) appeared in China, Japan, parts of Vietnam, Korea, Tibet, and in the early 16th century, also in Mongolia.
