Buddha taught that the suffering we experience is caused on deluded thinking. The reality of suffering is explained in the Four Noble Truths. Buddha's prescription for ending suffering is the Eightfold Path (Google it). The hard part is actually realizing how to follow this Path. The problem of correct approach to the Eightfold Path is often discussed in the teachings. If one were to survey all the practicing Buddhists in the world today, only a tiny percentage have been so successful on the Eightfold Path as to have awakened. However, even those who have not yet awakened have laid a foundation of awakening in a future life and also avoided much trouble in their present life.
