Summary
During an “Axial Age” of idealistic creativity, Buddhism emerged as a mystical guide to escape the mundane rituals of the physical world (8 January 2008). Founded by Siddhartha Gautama, the nature of Buddhism transposes Enlightenment against the social conventions of traditional Hinduism.Through a heightened sense of spirituality and physical detachment, the ideals of Buddhism offer much insight on the concept of achieving self-enlightenment and the fallibility of class distinctions. Although the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama were politically limiting and non-withstanding in India, the religious and social pragmatism of individual Enlightenment, as seen through the Four Noble Truths and the disintegration of the caste system, were tremendous contributions of the Buddhist philosophy.
