Buddhism is just a philosophy?

Is Buddhism is just a philosophy?

ANSWER: 
  • The word philosophy comes from two words philo, which means ‘love,’  and sophia which means 'wisdom’. So philosophy is the love of wisdom, or love and wisdom. 
  • Both meanings describe Buddhism perfectly.  Buddhism teaches that we should try to develop our intellectual ability to the fullest so that we can understand clearly. 
  • It also teaches us to develop love and kindness so that we can be like a true friend to all beings. 
  • So Buddhism is a philosophy but not just a philosophy. 
 It is the supreme philosophy.
