| 113 "... Buddha ..." "The following points are the a few of the fundamentals of the teachings attributed to Gautama Buddha: The Four Noble Truths that suffering is an inherent part of existence that the origin of suffering is ignorance and the main symptoms of that ignorance are attachment and craving that attachment and craving can be ceased and that following the Noble Eightfold Path will lead to the cessation of attachment and craving and therefore suffering. 227 The Noble Eightfold Path right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Dependent origination that any phenomenon 'exists' only because of the existence of other phenomena in a complex web of cause and effect covering time past, present and future. Because all things are thus conditioned and transient (anicca), they have no real independent identity (anatta). Anicca (Sanskrit anitya): That all things are impermanent. Anatta (Sanskrit anātman): That the perception of a constant "self" is an illusion. Dukkha (Sanskrit dukha): That all beings suffer from all situations due to unclear mind. According to tradition, the Buddha emphasized ethics and correct understanding. He questioned the average person's notions of divinity and salvation. He stated that gods are subjected to karma themselves and the Buddha is solely a guide and teacher for the sentient beings who must tread the path of Nirvāa themselves to attain the spiritual awakening called bodhi and see truth and reality as it is. The Buddhist system of insight and meditation practice is not believed to have been revealed divinely, but by the understanding of the true nature of the mind, which must be discovered by personally treading a spiritual path guided by the Buddha's teachings" -- Reference Wikipedia.org back to 113) Download 2 Mb.
