A.Sri Lanka
B.Pakistan
C.Indonesia
D.England

Answer 1

Hint: It is one of the significant religions of South and South-Eastern Asian nations. The religion depends on the lessons, educational encounters of its organizer Siddhartha Gautam, brought into the world in around 563 BCE. Following 49 consecutive days, Gautama achieved Bodhi (illumination) under a pipal tree at Bodhgaya, a town in Bihar.

Complete answer:
Mahatma Buddha’s teachings revolve around the middle path of the living, the eight-fold path to enlightenment, and four noble truths. Gautama Buddha founded Buddhism. It teaches the Middle Path renouncing extreme steps like an indulgence and strict abstinence. The four noble truths (Arya Satya) in Buddhism are: the world is full of sorrow. Desire is the root cause of all sorrow. sorrow can be conquered by conquering desire. Desire can be conquered by following eightfold paths. Right understanding, right resolve, right speech, right action, right living, right efforts, and right self-concentration. Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha were the Triratnas.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:Buddhism remained between the two limits: excessive individualistic egocentrism and similarly individualistic yet absurd austere discipline of the body. Thus, it is a consistent ascent and its name 'The Middle Way'. Buddha accepted that each individual is the creator of his own fate. We are conceived over and over to harvest the products of our Karma'. One should neither lead an existence of extravagance nor existence of extreme austerity. The best course to be sought after by an individual is the Middle Path (Madhyama Marg).
