Buddhism is a philosophical and religious movement which according to legend was founded by Gautama Buddha. The goal of Buddhists is to be freed from the cycle of rebirth, thus never having to suffer more. Buddhism has gradually spread to other parts of Asia, and has played a central role in the spiritual, cultural and social development of the Eastern world. Today, Buddhism has about 415 million followers worldwide. Avoiding all the wrong behavior, the undertaking of the good, and develop your own mind; This is the teaching of the Buddhas. Buddha (Dhammapada verse 183)
Lumbini (also: Lumbini Aadarsha) is a village committee (English: village development committee, abbreviated VDC; Nepali: panchayat) in southern Nepal on the border with India.

Lumbini is on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997. Because it is such an important place of pilgrimage for Buddhists around the world to find, there are many different Lumbini Buddhist elements from different countries. In the area include a Chinese Buddhist temple, a Burmese pagoda and the bodhi tree hanging Tibetan prayer flags and Korean Buddhist lanterns. Buddhist temples of the main schools of Buddhism can be found here. In 2013, a Buddha statue at the Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini found which is seen as the oldest in the world, it comes from the 6th century BC. n instead of reaching one's own salvation and Buddhahood, Mahayana sees the bodhisattva ideal as the main objective. The bodhisattva promises to postpone own full enlightenment and over again to return to earth to help everyone, be redeemed until all living beings. The emphasis is thus on humanity. The Dalai Lama, leader of the Tibetan people, fourteenth Lama living in exile in Dharamsala, is seen as the Bodhisattva of Compassion. He always returns to earth to help people on their path to enlightenment.
