Buddhists teach that the end of suffering can be achieved by following the Eightfold Path. This is a method of developing proper attitudes, thoughts and actions that reduce desire and thus reduce suffering.
The components of the Eightfold path can be broken down into three areas of impact on your life (Wisdom, Perseverance and Meditation). The meaning of each of these is:
WISDOM (The Exercise of Judgement)
Right Understanding/View - Aspire to better the state of yourself and others
PERSEVERANCE ( Sound Ethical Discipline)
Right Thought/Intention - Think on that which is good
Right Speech - Be positive, honest, comforting and caring
Right Action - Exert energy to do what you think is good for all
Right Livelihood - Use your talents well for the good of humanity
Right Effort - Do not exert effort in the pursuit of evil
MEDITATION (Concentration and Focus)
Right Mindfulness - Direct your attention to good & proper things
Right Concentration - Be caught up in a life of good works and love

∙ 6y agoAfter the Buddha died, his
followers gathered his teachings to pass on to others.
These collected teachings are called the dharma
(DAHR•muh), which means the true nature of things.
Dharma is often shown symbolically as a wheel.
Monks and nuns-men and women who live in
religious communities-helped develop the formal
religion of Buddhism. Other Buddhists became
wandering holy men and tried to live as the Buddha had.
Over time, Buddhism split into many branches. Some
branches stressed the importance of being a monk and studying
the Buddha's life. Others stressed meditation. Some Buddhists
taught that ordinary people could become Buddhas. Such holy
people could work to save others through acts of mercy and love.
Most Buddhists worshiped the Buddha as a divine being.
