Śāsana (
Buddhist term for their philosophy and practice.[1] It can be translated as teaching, practice, discipline, doctrine, and "the teaching of the Buddha". Since in Buddhism there is no divine being, Śāsana is considered a more accurate description than "religion" as it avoids the implication of a non-changing divine call from an all-knowing god
.
Śāsana is also used for the 5000-year
Śakyamuni Buddha
