Buddhism is a religion that encompasses concepts such as karma, rebirth and nirvana. It is a very peaceful religion, not to say that any of the majors religions are not, and has early roots which can be traced back to the country of India.
From Buddha pears to Buddhism-inspired furniture, check out all of the Buddhist innovations we have to offer. Meditation is suggested, but not required.
Implications - From political parody print ads to Buddhist activists protesting China online, the religion continues to be integrated into other cultures and societies such as North America. These practitioners thrive on peace and look for innovations that aide them in their religious practices.
