Die woordeboekdefinisie van Boeddhis is 'n selfstandige naamwoord wat verwys na 'n volgeling van Boeddhisme, 'n nie-teïstiese godsdiens wat in Indië ontstaan het en gebaseer is op die leerstellings van Siddhartha Gautama, ook bekend as die Boeddha. Boeddhiste glo in die Vier Edele Waarhede, wat sê dat lyding bestaan, lyding ontstaan uit hunkering en gehegtheid, lyding kan uitgeskakel word, en die pad na die uitskakeling van lyding is die Agtvoudige Pad. Boeddhiste glo ook in die konsep van karma, reïnkarnasie en die uiteindelike doel om verligting of Nirvana te bereik.
