Theravada Buddhism

        We are part of the oldest living Buddhist tradition in the world, Theravada. The teachings come from the Buddha named Siddhartha Gautama, often referred to as the historical Buddha. He was born in India over 2,500 years ago and discovered not only the cause of suffering in the world but the way to completely eliminate all forms of suffering, large and small. Because this teaching was available to everyone with a sincere interest in practicing it, a group of enlightened disciples formed around him, known as the Noble Sangha.
