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.

Buddhist 

One who follows the teachings of Buddha, and does not believe but seeks out the truth and acquires knowledge instead of faith. One who is aware of reincarnation, samsara, dukkha, and nirvana.

The Buddhist quietly practiced vipassana meditation each day, and under the guidance of her guru she finally reached enlightenment.

Bus Bench Buddhist 

A person who advertises that they are a Buddhist for attention or clout. Referencing how real estate agents rent bus benches to advertise their business and have their face seen.

The Buddhist teacher could have easily made a video without splashing their face all over but it was obvious they were really a bus bench Buddhist and it was all about their ego and trying to come across as wise.

Buddhist 

(Noun) A follower of the Buddha, a spiritual teacher born in India c 563 BCE, or (adjective) relating to Him or His teachings. A Buddhist is defined not by belief but by their commitment to and faith (confidence) in a path of spiritual development and liberation that includes

(1)The practice of meditation in order to achieve mental and emotional integration and insight;
(2) The observance of ethical guidelines to train oneself in simplicity, mindfulness and nonviolence; and cultivate an attitude of universal, unconditional loving kindness; and
(3) The development of wisdom based on testing for oneself the teachings of the Buddha. These include the teaching that everything (including ourselves) arises in dependence on other conditions and, in consequence, is changing and open to the rest of existence, rather than ultimately separately existing.

The path leads to a state of Enlightenment or Nirvana, a state of complete freedom from all limitation and suffering.

"Just as the great ocean has but one taste, the taste of salt, so my teachings have but one taste, the taste of freedom." ( - the Buddha)

His Holiness the Dalai Lama often says, "I am just a simple Buddhist monk - no more, nor less."

In all of Buddhist history, there has never been a holy war.
