The buddha were being prayed with an incense, candles and flowers, not far from a traditional catholic reverence to religious statues and images. However, a buddhist concept is different from a catholic. In buddhism, there is karma as the law of cause and effect, and the rebirth or the incarnation. That is why they spare the life of an insect believing that it must be someone's life incarnated. The popular terms I heard from buddhism are Zen, meditation and nirvana. So far, buddhism is the major religion in India, China, Thailand, minor in other countries in Asia.
