Hi,
Buddhism is a rich and varied spirtual tradition based on the teachings of SiddhÄrtha Gautama Buddha. The Buddha was born in what is now Nepal and taught across Northern India in his lifetime. The simplest teachings may also be the most profound and are known the Four Noble Truths, they comprise:
- Suffering - we suffer because we attach to things that are impermanent
- This 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 things
- The Buddha presents a way to end suffering through an Eightfold path
I hope this helps.
Regards
Steve
