What are the three religions?

The three religions refer to the three major traditional religions, namely Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism (Buddhism).

The birth of Buddhism is more than 2,500 years ago. It was founded by Prince Siddhartha Gautama of the ancient Indian state of Kapilavastu (now in Nepal) (refer to Buddha's Birthday).

Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated in India, and India is also working hard to shape the image of a Buddhist holy site.

Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated in India, and India is actually working hard to create an image of a "Buddhist holy land".

This has caused many people to have the illusion that Buddha was born in India, which has always made the Nepalese people dissatisfied.

Buddhism is also one of the three major religions in the world.

Buddha means "the awakened one".

The Buddha is also called the Tathagata, the worthy offering, the right and all-knowing, the one with sufficient knowledge and conduct, the good departed, the understander of the world, the supreme scholar, the master of training, the teacher of gods and humans, and the World Honored One.

Buddhism attaches great importance to human spiritual and moral progress and enlightenment.

The purpose of Buddhist believers to practice Buddhism is to discover the truth of life and the universe according to the practice methods enlightened by Siddhartha, and ultimately transcend life, death and suffering, cut off all troubles, and obtain ultimate liberation.

The Buddha's surname was newly called Gautama (S-Gautama, P-Gotama), and his old name was Qu Tan; because he belonged to the Sākya tribe, people also called him Sakyamuni.
