Question

based on India i think its Hinduism or Buddhism please help need fast

Answer 1

The Buddha taught the 4 Noble Truths in his first Sermon. The 4 Noble Truths detail what is suffering, and the 8 Fold Path tells you how to escape the cycle of samsara (suffering)

Answer 2

“The Four Noble Truths”
Which might be paraphrased as:

1. We all experience suffering in some way or another
“Mental, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual”.

2. Suffering is self-created.
“A consequence of our desiring things to be other than they are”.

3. It need not be this way.
“We have a choice as to how we perceive the world and live our lives”.

4. There are systematic ways to set about changing how we think and perceive.


Noble Eightfold Path:
1. Right Speech—One speaks in a non hurtful, not exaggerated, truthful way (samyag-vāc, sammā-vācā)

2. Right Actions—Wholesome action, avoiding action that would do harm (samyak-karmānta, sammā-kammanta)

3. Right Livelihood—One's way of livelihood does not harm in any way oneself or others; directly or indirectly (samyag-ājÄ«va, sammā-ājÄ«va)

4. Right Effort/Exercise—One makes an effort to improve (samyag-vyāyāma, sammā-vāyāma)

5. Right Mindfulness/Awareness—Mental ability to see things for what they are with clear consciousness (samyak-smṛti, sammā-sati)

6. Right Concentration/Meditation—Being aware of the present reality within oneself, without any craving or aversion. (samyak-samādhi, sammā-samādhi)

7. Right Understanding—Understanding reality as it is, not just as it appears to be. (samyag-dṛṣṭi, sammā-diá¹­á¹­hi)

8. Right Thoughts—Change in the pattern of thinking. (samyak-saṃkalpa, sammā-saṅkappa)
