    I think the word "Buddhism" means the religion that people
    believe the fact that the world is nothing. What you see is just your
    imagination. Everything around us is changed all the time.
    They teach us to free our soul from the imagination of this world.
    Since you are human, you may want to get rich, famous, and
    sometimes want to have sex with lover. However, those things
    always lead us to suffer and sin. Human always fight with each other
    to overcome and get what they want. Someone may get rich but
    the money is not belong with him when he is dead. Someone may
    become famous but he also suffer when the fame go out from
    his life. Someone may deep love with his lovers and also become
    sad when they are gone. So, what you can say that it will belong
    with you forever? There is nothing! Moreover, we also believe in
    the fact that our birth is not just one time. We will born in a new
    form after the death depending on what we did in this life. If you
    did a lot of good things, you may become human or higher spirit form.
    If you did a lot of bad things, you may become animal or lower spirit
    form. Unfortunately, you still suffer during your new life from the
    imagination of this world even in the high spirit form. We do not want
    to get suffer again and again forever liked this. Thus, we try to
    practice in the Buddha way to free our soul from this world.
    I can not say how to do it since I am also not reach to that state.
    However, I just believe in the Buddha and I try to practice everyday.

    Good luck in your life...

    If you are asking for an actual, straight forward, direct to the point meaning, then Buddhism is the teaching of “Buddha”, which means awakened one.

    If you are asking philosophically, that's a lot of meaning for a single word.
    As for me, philosophically, Buddhism means nature of things as they are.

    Buddha Religion is right behavior, right concentrate and right wisdom.
    Everyone can improve the three of himself for better until it's is unity and stable which there is nothing bias your mind. Lord buddha teach the way to do it.

    Outstanding not similar to other religion, Buddha Religion specify 8 group of person who can approve his method with the same true experience.
