Buddhist

A Buddhist is a person who follows the Dhamma-Vinaya (conduct and discipline) preached by the Mahabodhi, Siddhartha Gautama. A Buddhist believes the Four Noble Truths (Pali: cattāri ariyasaccāni), which are:
1. DUKKHA - Life is full of suffering
2. SAMUDHAYA - Suffering is caused by unrequited desire
3. NIRODHA - To eliminate suffering one must eliminate desire
4. MAGGA - The cessation of suffering is achieved by following Ariya-Atthangika-Magga, the Noble Eightfold Path

The Noble Eightfold Path consists of the following eight categories of proper conduct, divided into three broad areas:
# Widsom--Panna

* Right Understanding--samma ditthi

* Right Thought--samma sankappa

# Morality--Sila

* Right Speech--samma vaca

* Right Action--samma kammanta

* Right Livelihood--samma ajiva

# Concentration--Samadhi

* Right Effort--samma vayama

* Right Mindfulness--samma sati

* Right Concentration--samma samadhi

Although there are different schools of Buddhism, the above are the core beliefs of the faith.

Buddhism in various forms is practiced across East Asia, although it has largely died out in its home country of India. Sri Lanka is the birthplace of Theravada Buddhism, practiced in Burma, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, while Mahayana Buddhism is practiced in Tibet, Mongolia, China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Siberia.

Many people in the West have taken a keen interest in Buddhism in recent decades, leading to a resurgence of this ancient faith.

In spite of doctrinal differences, all of the above groups are considered Buddhist because they all revere the Buddha and his teachings.

Bonzi Buddy

A stupid spyware-program that shows a purple monkey talking to you in the same voice as the WindowsME verbal help tool. Usually downloaded by retarded little kids using the computer while mommy and daddy are away. When they get home, mommy kills the monkey with Ad-Aware and daddy kills the little kid's ass with a board.

"You little shit - you downloaded Bonzi Buddy again!?! Shut up - I don't care how cute he is - I'm gonna beat your ass!!!"

Lay Buddhism

Much like Buddhism, but praticed by people who aren't monks. All you need to be a lay buddhist is to follow the eight fold path and agree to Buddha's teachings.

Lay Buddhism is Buddhism for the common man. I'd be a lay buddhist, but meditation is really hard, props to Jordan for being a Lay Buddhist.

Fuck buddy

A person with whom one has occasional casual sex in the context of a friendly relationship unburdened by any romantic interest or love.

I see Jane once in a while for a booty call when we are both free. I consider her a fuck buddy.
