He taught how to live without attachment and therefore to overcome dukkha or suffering. He was against following certain rituals and beliefs in the Caste System or in idol worship. Unfortunately, what Buddha prescribed as a way of life or as Buddha philosophy has today transformed into Buddhism, into a religion, and it contradicts many of the Buddha's teachings.
