2. Buddhism in Thailand
Tailandia:
. Thailand is a stronghold of
Buddhism.
. Buddhists believe that life does not begin with birth and end
with death, but rather that every person has several lives based
upon the lessons of life not yet learned and acts committed
(karma) in previous lives.
. Buddhists believe that selfishness and craving result in suffering
and that compassion and love bring happiness and well-being.
. The true path to peace is to eliminate all desire, a condition
which Buddhists define as 'nirvana', an indescribable state free of
desire, suffering, or further rebirth, in which a person simply is, and
is completely at one with his surroundings.
. Buddhism is practised in Thailand by over 90% of the population.
