Buddhism

Buddhism does not require a personal God. The emergence of Buddhism goes back to Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who lived in the sixth century before the birth of Christ. From a Western perspective Buddha was like the first psychotherapist. He wanted to help people in life crises and overcome suffering. However, he moves more radical. He teaches that ultimately nothing in the world stays like it is, everything is changeable. Which in his opinion meant, that the suffering of the people is created by holding on to the own ego - which one should try to free themselves from. There is no personal God, Buddhism manages without a personal God – like known from Christianity or Islam. That’s why a lot of people say that Buddhism is not a religion but a philosophy.
