	Buddhism
		Buddhism is a religion and philosophy based on the teachings of the Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, who lived in northern India between 563 and 483 BCE.
		The followers of Theravada Buddhism take the scriptures known as the "Pali suttas, vinaya and abhidhamma" (the Tipitaka/Tripitaka) as normative and authoritative; the followers of Mahayana Buddhism base themselves chiefly on the "Mahayana sutras" (sutra/sutta is generally a scripture in which the Buddha himself gives instruction), as well as on various versions of the vinaya.
		Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.

		Indian missionaries took Buddhism to Indonesia at a time when the religion was declining in India itself and as Indonesians were ready to go beyond the confines of their indigenous belief systems.
		Although Indonesia is recognized as the largest Muslim country in the world, it supports a large number of religions, and virtually all Indonesians are affected to some degree by exposure to adat, or traditional native customs, as well as the Hindu and Buddhist religions that dominated the main islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo.
		Although Indonesia is a remarkably diverse country, the traditional practices and beliefs of adat are surprisingly consistent from island and culture-to-culture.

		Tradition has it that Buddhism was introduced after the Han emperor Ming Ti (reigned AD 57/58–75/76) had a dream of a flying golden deity that was interpreted as a vision of the Buddha.
		From this point forward Buddhism was the primary culture of the elite, was a powerful force in the affairs of state, and penetrated deeply into all aspects of Tibetan life.
		Buddhism gained a foothold among a significant number of Western intellectuals and—particularly during the 1960s and early '70s—among young people seeking new forms of religious experience and expression.
