Answer:

Buddhism is not exactly a religion like Judaism, Christianity or Islam. There isn´t one true god, as the monotheistic religions preach. It´s a religious philosophy , a philosophy of life.

It encourages a search for the spiritual perfection that can be achieved by man´s own efforts (meditation, concentration, mind peace, practice of kindness to others), not through divine grace. It aims at liberating the soul from suffering, fear and delusions, from wants and attachment to earthly things. In Buddhism, the state of mind liberation , that point of maximal spiritual achievement is called nirvana, an awakening. Buddha - who´s a teacher, not a god - attained nirvana. Buddha means "the awakened one."  His name was Siddharta Gautama, and was born into a Hindu royal family.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

It changed mostly politically.
