It is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who is also known as the Buddha. The Buddha taught that the cause of suffering is desire, and that the way to end suffering is to follow the Eightfold Path.<\/p>\n<p>Buddhism spread throughout Asia and eventually to the West. However, in recent centuries, Buddhism has declined in many parts of the world. There are a number of reasons for this decline, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The rise of other religions, such as Christianity and Islam<\/li>\n<li>The spread of secularism and materialism<\/li>\n<li>The corruption of Buddhist monasteries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The corruption of Buddhist monasteries is one of the most serious problems facing Buddhism today.
