Buddhism is a religion and philosophy that originates in the Indian subcontinent and encompasses various traditions of belief. My opinion of Buddhism as a conscious or enlightened teacher who shares Her insights to help sentient beings end ignorance (avidyā), thirst / napsu (taṇhā), and suffering (dukkha), by realizing the causal interdependent.
Buddhist are without doubt the most peaceful religion ever and i really like their lifestyle very much because they are very mindful about the environment that they live in. If most people in the world were like them it would be a very peaceful world.
Oriental religions in general are very peaceful. Apart from Buddhism, other oriental religions such as Hinduism, Shintoism, Taoism, Confucianism, Moism, Yazdanism.etc are also very non-confrontational and peace-loving. What differentiates them from the Semitic religions is that the orientals never force someone to change their religion.
