‘Buddha’ refers to a supreme teacher and Buddhism is a way through which this supreme teacher can enlighten our lives. Many people do not treat Buddhism as a religion. They treat it as a way of life that can help us find answers to all those questions we always had in mind. We study Buddhism when we need to understand and gain an explanation of several natural phenomena through the ways of religion and science. We also study Buddhism, as it teaches us a way to understand our own mind. It helps us know ourselves in a practical life.
