Buddhism

Buddhism is one of the five major world religions and has been established in many countries of East Asia. There are approximately one billion Buddhists worldwide, and interest in Buddhism has been steadily increasing in Europe for about 100 years. An estimated 100,000 Buddhists live in Germany today. Buddhism is oriented toward people and their world of experience and is free of ideologies or dogmas. The starting point is everyone's wish to experience happiness. The goal is the full development of all of the potential inherent in the human being.
