'''[[Buddhism]]''' is an Indian religion or philosophical tradition based on teachings attributed to the Buddha. It originated in the eastern Gangetic plain as a śramaṇa–movement in the 5th century BCE, and gradually spread throughout much of Asia via the Silk Road. It is the world's fourth-largest religion, with over 520 million followers (Buddhists) who comprise seven percent of the global population.
'''[[Quimbanda]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religion]] practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially [[Umbanda]] and [[Candomblé]]. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. The religion shares much of the philosophy of [[LaVeyan Satanism]], although it is more focused on the invocation of spirits.


In the Western world, Buddhism has had a strong influence on modern New Age spirituality and other alternative spiritualities. This began with its influence on 20th century Theosophists such as [[Helena Blavatsky]], which were some of the first Westerners to take Buddhism seriously as a spiritual tradition.
