What is Buddhism? What do Buddhists believe?

This was an incredibly complicated religion to cover, since there are so many types of Buddhism and different traditions, so please excuse me if I happened to mix up traditions or didn't explain something clearly! It's meant to be a superficial overview and sometimes that comes at the expense of some of the details.

I'm no Buddhist, but I do admire it.
I've practised mindfulness and meditation before, and they've both helped me control my anxiety.

As an agnostic, i view buddhism as a great way of living

[na-ra]

I'm a buddhist.
All I wanna say is buddhism is like a cool breeze in hot days.
my Lord Buddha gave me hope and happiness.
I saw true love and kindness only in his eyes
Namo Buddhaya🙏🙏🙏

Buddhism primarily teaches people to be wise, compassionate and virtuous. And there are many examples of Buddhists living as so.

Why do we have to argue whether it is a religion, a philosophy, a way of life, etc, etc, as long as The Teaching changes you into a better person instead of another fanatic, hypocrite, negative person. That means something. Each person has his own interpretation of what he learn/heard which he had to answer in his later life. Just live our own life without condemning others.

Been practicing Buddhism for a little over a year. It’s definitely has changed my life, thanks for sharing

Meditation is not about stopping anything, but about being aware without any judgement.

I don't really see Buddhism as a religion more a philosophy and way of thinking I'm a Christian yet practice some Buddhist practices

[Maggasekha]

Buddhist monk here, I've watched a ton of these " what is Buddhism" videos on youtube and this is easily among the most accurate and broad in scope. I'm also glad you called the video " superficial", which is ironic since it's much less superficial then many others. I could nitpick a few things here and there, and I'm not Tibetan tradition so I can't speak to that accuracy, but I hope this video grows so it gets higher on the youtube search.

I am a Hindu from India and I want to follow Buddhism because it is not a religion it is a philosophy of life.

I've been in a dark place for a long time. Fear, depression, guilt, and anxiety. I tried buddhism and I've stopped worrying about what I can't control. If I didn't have inner peace I would've given up on life a long time ago. 😊❤🌱✌

I’m convinced YouTube can read our minds. I was just thinking “What is Buddhism?” And not 15 minutes later here I am

[janmingmalovemt]

I m Buddhist, that is exactly right what you have explained thank you,

[maximuslee]

I grew up as a Christian, I wasn't even spiritually welcomed, my faith wasn't stronger but it all changed when I study Buddhism 2 years ago I learned a lot, and it helped me with my anxiety and depression

[rin-ixub]

i visited this video two years ago i never regret joining buddhism two years ago it changed my life for ever

[sandrarthornton]

Buddha means awakened one
We all inherently possess the limitless potential of the Buddha
Asians adapted Buddhism to their religious traditions. Even giving the names of their gods Buddhist names
It. Is definitely complex
The most important thing to know is that Buddha is not a god. We are all the Buddha🙏

[MarsunAlvarez]

Simply Buddhism is the way u think. Thanks for sharing I'm Buddhist from Philippines

[bavebelenduae]

Buddhism seems like a very friendly religion.
