Buddhism is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who lived and taught on the Indian subcontinent. He was born in what is now Nepal and died around 400 BC.

The First Buddhist Council took place in the 5th century BC shortly after the death of the Buddha. It was presided over by one of his top disciples, Venerable Mahakasyapa, and occurred at Rajagriha.
