This article deals with Buddhism as it relates to NationStates. For more general information, see the Wikipedia article on this subject.
Buddhism teaches followers to perform good and wholesome actions, to avoid bad and harmful actions and to purify and train the mind. The aim of these practices is to awaken the practitioner to the realization of true reality and the achievement of Nirvana.
While Buddhism does not deny the existence of supernatural beings (indeed, many are discussed in Buddhist scripture), it does not ascribe power for creation, salvation or judgement to them. Like humans, they are regarded as having the power to affect worldly events, and so some Buddhist schools associate with them via ritual.
