Buddhist teachings are said to be the teachings given by the Buddha, the Awakened one. But also includes the teachings of the others schools of the Mahayana where the teachings are not "directly" by the Buddha but by other enlightened beings whose mind are inseparables from the one of the historical Buddha... that doesn't mean that it's eternalism nor brahaminism but that both mental continuum share the same nature, vacuity and clarity.

∙ 15y agoThe simplest focus of Buddhist teaching is on loving kindness. If you could experience absolute loving kindness for all sentient beings - including the most hateful, brutal, horrible person you can think of, as well as the tiger which is about to bite your head off - then you will be enlightened. It is easier to reach this place of complete compassion by studying other philosophical concepts like the 'emptiness of self', 'dependent origination' and other esoteric stuff. All the teachings, no matter how esoteric, eventually lead back to the understanding that there is no "self" and so grasping at things that we think will make us happy or hating things we think are bad will never lead to happiness.
