	Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buddhism is a religion and philosophy based on the teachings of the Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, a prince of the Shakyas, whose lifetime is traditionally given as 566 to 486 BCE.
		Chinese Buddhism, Korean Buddhism, Japanese Buddhism, and Vietnamese Buddhism.
		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.

	Bodhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bodhi is most commonly translated into English as enlightenment, though this translation is problematic, since enlightenment (the soul being "lit" by a higher power) is originally a concept from Christian mysticism or conversely evokes notions of the 18th century European Age of Enlightenment that are not identical with the Buddhist concept of Bodhi.

		Their skill in helping others to obtain enlightenment is inferior to that of the arhats, but one need to accumulate paramis in a much long time to become a pratyekabuddha than an Arhat.

	Buddhism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Buddhism is a religion and philosophy based on the teachings of Siddhārtha Gautama (Sanskrit; in Pāli, Siddhattha Gotama), who lived between approximately 563 and 483 BCE.

		Early Buddhism refers not to the One but to a plurality of separate dharmas, which is ontologically lopsided: the self has been analyzed away, but the reality of the world as objective has been left unchanged.

		But, these came at the latest stage of his unawakened life and were more a part of his imminent awakening than of his approach to it.
		The tendency to interpret either of these systems as prescriptive, rather than descriptive, may be incorrect and suggestive that one (or even a choice of two!) set of directives, if followed, will lead each and every being to freedom or righteousness.
