Buddha: Family name Gautama; given
names, Siddartha ("in whom wishes
are fulfilled") and Buddha (“he who
knows"). Born 628 B.C., son of the
king of Kapilavastu, north of Oude,
India; died in his eighty-fifth year.
Founder of Buddhism which, in oppo-
sition to the dead creed and forms of
Brahmanism, taught: "(1) Existence
is only pain or sorrow. (2) The cause
of pain or sorrow is desire. (3) In
Nirvana all pain and sorrow cease.
(4) Nirvana is attainable by the' noble
path' of virtuous self-discipline." Nir-
vana is both a means and an end. As
a means, it is the process of renuncia-
tion by which the love of life and self
are extinguished; as an end, it is the
heaven of the Buddhist, a negative
bliss consisting in absorption of the
soul into the Infinite. The soul is the
Karma, the sum total of a man's deeds,
good and evil,- his character, by which
is determined his state of future exist-
ence. The Karma passes through
various earthly existences in the pro-
cess of renunciation described above.
