As it all began, Buddhism was founded in the sixth century B.C., in northern India
by Siddharta Gautama, who was the son of a king, in what now, is known as
Southern Nepal. This religion through many centuries flowered from Asia and had
Asian immigrants go to the U.S., in the early third of the 19th century. This brought
Buddhism to America. Buddhism also went to Canada in the middle of the 19th
century when the Chinese arrived first from California and then from Hong Kong.
The three most major Buddhist centers are Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal
