Kia Ora my name is Temu and for this writing, I have

experienced a really amazing but beautiful looking

religion on Buddhist people and their temple. So for

this writing, I will be explaining why and how Buddhist

people act in there own ways and what I have

experienced at a Buddhist temple.

Firstly how did the Buddhist religion got found and

began, well Buddhism is a religion founded by a person

named Siddhartha Gautama known as the Buddha and

you would be astonished how many years this was. Well,

this was about 2,500 years ago and this was in India, but

when the Buddha sadly passed away his followers

worshiped him.

Secondly what kind of god do Buddhism people worship

now? Well, Buddhist people worship there own god which

is Buddha. And also why do they worship? The reason for

this is because they want to pay there own respects to the

Buddha statue so they feel blessed in there own way.

Lastly, I feel really amazed by and how they live and how

they build there very beautiful looking buildings. And also

how do they interact with their buildings? How do they

interact with their buildings well an Buddhism temple is a

place of worship for Buddhism people to worship their god.

In Conclusion, now I can understand how Buddhist people

act in there own ways. And how they live and why do they

worship but I have a question for you. If you were a Buddhist

person what would you do? Because as one of them I can

see they are can see they are respectful people.
