Abstract:
Buddhism was a great movement of thought in ancient India. Appearing in the 6th century BC, Buddhism quickly became popular and became a state religion in India, then promulgated and spread to neighboring countries and regions. Through the ups and downs of history, Buddhism has currently become a major world religion and has strongly influenced the spiritual and cultural life of many Eastern peoples. With the aim to liberate people from all suffering by living a virtuous life, Buddhism has quickly won the hearts and beliefs of the working masses. It has become a symbol of compassion and charity in the traditional ethics of Asian peoples. One can call Buddhism a religion of compassion, a sublime philosophical system, and a humanistic ethics because the ethical values of Buddhism stem from great compassion and have positive effects on social ethics and people.
