Buddhism is one of the great religions of the world. Most of its followers live in Ceylon, China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand, but there are Buddhists everywhere.

The founder of this religion was Prince Gautama Siddhartha, born to luxury. One day, as he left his palace he saw three men, one very sick, one very old, and one dead. Very disturbed by this evidence of man’s suffering, he began to wonder how man might find true and lasting happiness.
