A Short History of Buddhism
The prince was Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism.
According to History.com, "After six years of searching, Buddhists believe Gautama found enlightenment while meditating under a Bodhi tree. He spent the rest of his life teaching others about how to achieve this spiritual state."
The belief started in present-day Nepal, spread to India, and has since spread into Southeast Asia and even parts of Russia.
About 470 million people follow Buddhism in search of enlightenment.
"Our desire is to utilize the video format through Facebook to get the gospel message in front of every Thai person and to have discipleship sets of videos to bridge the gap of knowledge so that those who are interested in Jesus may begin to walk with him.”
–Josh, a church planter in Thailand
