General definition (in Buddhism)
Buddhism is a world religion, which arose in Bihar, India and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who is known as the Buddha (literally the Enlightened One or Awakened One). It flourished during the reign of Maurya Empire. Buddhism has spread through two main traditions; Theravada which extended south and east and now has widespread following in Southeast Asia, and Mahayana, which diffused first west, then north and later east throughout East Asia. Both traditions have since spread throughout the world.
Buddhism declined and disappeared from the land of its origin in around 13th century, but not without leaving a significant impact. Buddha is regarded as the 9th incarnation of Hindu god Vishnu by Hindus. Buddhist practice still continue in Himalayan areas like Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. It has reemerged as a major faith in India in the past century.
