Best Answer

The texts tell us that the Buddha discovered that our own; thoughts words and deeds are the primary cause of our own suffering. Suffering generally is the result of 'ignorance' of the laws of cause and effect. Suffering is the result of our attachment and aversion to composite phenomena, things that do not last.

Did Buddha say at the end of his life that he was still searching for the truth?

No, His final words are something like: "All created things must pass, strive on diligently. " The word created means anything that is constructed of parts (such as people, animals, plants, etc). So he was telling his followers to remember that all life is transitory, and to work hard to find enlightenment, which can be summarized roughly as is recognizing the truth about all things without preconception. This truth will bring about a state of contentment and happiness (lack of suffering). The truths that the Buddha has been said to identify are: 1. Life is full of suffering 2. Suffering is caused by desire and ego. 3. There is state of mind in which there is no suffering. 4. There is a path to obtain that freedom from suffering.

Buddhist teachings What is wrong in life and how to fix it?

According to Buddha he uncovered what he called the Four Noble Truths. I believe these relate to what you are inquiring about. The four noble truths basically say this: Life is suffering; Desire causes suffering; One must destroy or rid oneself of desire; Through the death of desire comes an end to suffering and a liberation from Samsara( endless suffering of this physical reality) and the reaching of a state of Nirvana(heaven if your christian). Buddha developed an "Eightfold Path" which were a generalized set of guidelines for living ones life so that one may achieve Nirvana.

What do they call the the truths that Buddha discovered?

The Four Noble Truths are the fundamental teachings of the Buddha, they comprise:Suffering - we suffer because we attach to things that are impermanentThis suffering has three causes - desire, hatred and delusion also known as attachment, aversion and ignorance.We can end our own suffering by ceasing our attachment to impermanent thingsThe Buddha presents a way to end suffering through an Eightfold pathThe classical definition of these teachings is that the Buddha is a doctor and the first two Noble Truths are a diagnosis of an illness (suffering), the third truth is our own realisation that there is both an illness and a cure and the fourth truth is the cure.My own personal view is that every Buddhist teaching or practise is essentially based on these Noble Truths. The essence of the teaching is to understand that if you suffer- there is a cause and that you are able to directly have an effect on it. It's about taking responsibility for what we do, say and think.


What Buddha's would say to a person?

I presume you mean after "Hello". Well, who knows!? Assuming you mean some kind of instruction, then it might be helpful to recall his first teaching known as the Four Noble Truths. All his teachings flowed from them. They are usually translated as the truth of suffering (from mild to wild), the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering and the truth of the path to cessation.
