Buddhism is one of the oldest world religions, it has been practised and professed by over 300 million people throughout the world. Its teachings brought tremendous benefits to mankind for over 2,500 years. Buddha's teachings are the path leading to enlightenment, happy and peaceful life. When the time passed by, even though there are many schools arising in Buddhism, but the uniqueness of Buddhist teaching is still accepted as the religion of peace, the religion of wisdom and the religion of freedom.
