Buddhism speaks to suffering in its widest sense, not just the extreme forms such as misery. Suffering can be a vague sense of insufficiency caused dissatisfaction with a luxurious lifestyle or even the transient lust for a donut as you pass a bakery and smell them cooking.
Our attachments and desires are the causes of this discomfort. It is not bad that we have desires. The desire to become a Buddha is good. But having unwise desires is not. For example, desiring a particular car because you think it might make you "cool" is not wise. Things don't make you cool. Or working yourself to death to buy a new large TV is not wise, because while the TV will make you happy for a while, it will get old and break or an even better TV will come along. Now you are not so happy with your TV.
The biggest issue with attachment is our belief that things will always be as they are. Well, all thing change, and our desire to have them stay as it they are is one of the biggest reasons we suffer.
The Buddha said that suffering is cause by attachment and desire. We get attached to people and things thinking that they will be the same way they are now forever and that they will make us happy, but everything changes and passes away. When they do we fell sad, angry, etc. Also our desires, if unrealistic, illogical or illusionary, cause us to suffer when we seek to acquire and hold things, thinking that they will make us happy, whole, smarter, more popular, etc.
So, for example, we really want that new car. We work ourselves half to death to get the money for it. We buy it and, for awhile, it really made us happy. But then it gets dinged and starts to break down. Now you are not so happy. Who's fault is that. The Car? The car was destined to be rust and decay when you bought it
Things and people can not make us happy. Happiness, anger, etc are only within ourselves. Its our response to people and things that makes us happy, sad, etc. Now this doesn't mean we are suppose to turn into unfeeling rocks. It means we should be aware and understand what drives our feelings and what the appropriate response should be to a situation.
Buddhism teaches the the four nible truths. the first is Dukkha which means suffering is everywhere. They believe it is caused by Selfishness and greed but not taking the biggest cake on the cup cake stand, the sort of greed which cause World War 1 + 2.

Buddhism
Buddhism does not concern itself on lores about the origin of the world. It's only concern is ending of suffering by understanding the causes.
The promise of Buddhism is finding freedom from suffering and attaining inner peace and enlightenment. It teaches that through the practice of mindfulness, ethical conduct, and meditation, individuals can overcome the root causes of suffering and find lasting happiness and contentment.

The dissatisfaction (suffering, anguish, trouble) we experience does not happen accidentally. It is caused. The chief purpose of Zen Buddhism is the same as the chief purpose of all Buddhist practices, namely, the end of dissatisfaction. Ultimately, it is ego that causes the greediness, hostility, and delusion, which are the three poisons, that causes dissatisfaction. So the chief values of Zen Buddhism have to do with the antidotes to these poisons. Ego-delusion is undermined by clarity, insight, and present-moment awareness. This is the way to freedom, the way to abiding peace and ease. .
it is know that they honor all human and no gods Answer:The core beliefs of Buddhism are those stated in the Four Noble Truths: * All life involves suffering * All suffering is caused by desire * The end of suffering requires the end of dsire * The way to the end of suffering is the Eightfold Path The Eightfold pathe then goes on to outline the way to live your life to minimize suffering.
The 4 noble truths are so important because they are the foundation of the Buddhist teachings. If you don't understand the them and if you haven't found out for yourself how true the 4 noble truths are then you can't really follow a Buddhist path. This has to do with the fact that we all want to be happy and we want to be free from suffering. In order to achieve that we need to understand suffering and what its cause is and we need to understand happiness and its cause. This is exactly what the 4 noble truths describe. By studying the 4 noble truths we can understand what the causes for suffering are and what the causes for happiness are - that includes ultimate happiness or enlightenment. Once we can distinguish these two different sets of causes in our own lives we can start attaining happiness and overcoming suffering. And the order in which the 4 noble truths are presented shows how we should follow the Buddhist path and reach our goal. That life is suffering BUT it has a way out!
Human desire causes this suffering.
Human desire causes this suffering.
It doesn't. It causes suffering and radiation poisoning.
You might care look into The Four Noble truths for more information but I could offer you the idea of cause and effect of the heart of Buddhist teachings. Everything we do have an effect, simply put, negative thoughts, words and deeds lead to negative results, positive causes lead to positive results. This is a simplification but I hope you get the idea.
