Write Main Teachings Of Buddhism Buddhism is a major world religion that originated in ancient India around the 6th century BCE. It was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, who came to be known as the Buddha, meaning “the awakened one” or “the enlightened one.” The core teachings of Buddhism revolve around the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths: ▪ Dukkha (Suffering): Life is inherently unsatisfactory and filled with suffering. This suffering can be physical, mental, or existential. Samudaya (Cause of Suffering): The cause of suffering is craving or attachment, which leads to the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). ▪ Nirodha (Cessation of Suffering): It is possible to end suffering by letting go of craving and attachment, achieving a state of liberation known as Nirvana. ▪ Magga (Path to the Cessation of Suffering): The Eightfold Path is the way to end suffering and attain Nirvana
