Abstract

Buddhism may be considered one of the most fascinating mass ideologies we know. Different people review it in different ways. Some see it as a religion, just like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and others. Some think of it as a philosophy, because it prescribes notions of existence, values, and mind-sets. Within the philosophical realm, Buddhism is often labeled as an ethical system. None of the above is untrue, because Buddhism could, indeed, be discussed as such. However, in this chapter, Buddhism will be approached as a psychology, which is described as the science or study of the mind and behavior.1 Put in a more digestible way: we will review Buddhism as a way of living.
