Buddhism states that suffering or unsatisfactoriness is the common experience with all people. In the Four Truths this is the first observation. The second seals with the cause of suffering, this is desire or wanting things to be different. The route to avoiding suffering is identified as avoiding or overcoming desire. The Fourth Truth says the actual method is to follow the Eightfold path which is a guideline to reducing pain and suffering in your life.
The Four Noble Truths indicate that suffering is caused by desire. Desire in this case is a feeling of needing of things beyond beyond our actual needs - money, power, food etc.
The philosophy that teaches that desire causes suffering is known as Buddhism. Central to Buddhist thought is the Four Noble Truths, which assert that suffering arises from attachment and desire (tanha). By understanding and overcoming these desires through practices such as meditation and ethical living, individuals can achieve enlightenment and liberation from suffering.
The Four Noble Truths in Buddhism assert that: 1) Life is inherently suffering (Dukkha); 2) The cause of suffering is desire and attachment (Tanha); 3) Suffering can be overcome (Nirodha); and 4) The path to end suffering is the Eightfold Path (Magga), which includes practices such as right understanding, right intention, and right action. By following this path, individuals can cultivate wisdom, ethical conduct, and mental discipline to ultimately achieve enlightenment and liberation from suffering.
Buddha became enlightened over 2500 years ago and found the 4 noble truths. So the answer is " Buddhism". But Buddism lacks dogma, a god(s), prayer and exclusivity, so it can't be called a religion.
