What do Buddhists believe? The Buddha himself taught for 40 years and there have been many enlightened teachers in the 2500 years since the time of Siddhartha Gautama. This vast, living tradition, means there isn't a Buddhist equivalent of the Book of Moses or the Nicene Creed. Nonetheless, there are basic ideas common to all Buddhist traditions that have appeared over the centuries.
