Buddhism is widely understood to be the religion founded by the Buddha, and originates from Nepal.
Apart from that, Buddhism can also be viewed not solely as a religion, but also as a philosophy, and even a way of life.
The widely recognized founder of Buddhism, the Buddha, actually has a name and was born a human being like any one of us.
The word "Buddha" can be defined as "the Enlightened One", or "the Awakened One".
The Buddha
The Dhamma could simply mean the teachings of the Buddha.
No doubt there were many scriptures and expositions made by him, the most concise essence of the Truth could be found in the Four Noble Truths taught by the Buddha. For more details, please see the Dhamma section.
The Sangha refers to the followship of disciples of the Buddha. Generally, it includes the Buddhist monks and nuns, who had made their commitments to lead a monastic way of life, and to carry on and preserve the teachings and tradition left behind by the Buddha.
On a wider scope, Sangha includes the lay disciples.
Also termed the Three Refuges, the Triple Gem comprises of the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha.
The Middle Path
As described above, in his quest for Enlightenment, the Buddha realized that extreme measures of self-mortification weakens one physically and intellectually, which impedes spiritual progress. Similarly, self-indulgence would not contribute to progress.
Middle Path is the way, which implies moderation. This notion of Middle Path is still of very much practical use even today.
