Chapter 1 - What is Buddhism? A religion without God - does that sound interesting for you? In this chapter, you will learn the fundamentals of Buddhism and what it is truly about. Chapter 2 - Getting to Know Siddharta Gautama The first Buddha deserved the highest ups and the lowest lows. Would you believe that Siddharta Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, was a royal born who decided to be a pauper? He decided to leave his old life upon meeting an old man, a sick man, and a corpse. But did you know that he did not find the truth in both? This led him to craft the middle path, which we know now as Buddhism.
