The  elements of Buddha exists in ordinary people,and that each one is capable of marching towards the path of Enlightenment  and transforming him/herself into Buddha. Buddha is a union of a particular state of mind and of action, each individual is capable of adjusting the extent of buddhism in him/her.Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to insight into the true nature of reality. Practice of meditation in Buddhism is a means of changing yourself in order to develop the qualities of awareness,wisdom and kindness.

Buddhism is a fusion of religion and philosophy. Buddhism is a religion to the extent that it is characterized by devotional practices and rituals devotion to the Buddhahood. However ,it neither involves belief in a creator God who has control over human destiny , nor seek to define reference to a religious belief.Hence some people donot see it as a relegion in the normal ,Western sense.In addition Buddhism has been describe as a philosophy , a way of life, a code of ethics,and science of mind.Its path is driven by goal of attaining self knowledge and freedom. A Buddha is a fully awakened being who has completely purified his mind of the three poisons of desire, aversion and ignorance and has ended the suffering which unawakened people experience in life. It teaches practical methods which enables to realise and use its teaching in order to transform their experience, to be fully responsible for their lives.
