GENERAL BUDDHISM

Buddhist Teachings.
These are the basic teachings and concepts in Buddhism.
Karma
Actions have consequences; so our lives are conditioned by our past actions.
Rebirth
Consciousness continues after death, and finds expression in a future life.
Liberation from karma
By following the Buddha's path one escapes the cycle of craving and suffering.
The Four Noble Truths
These are the essentials of Buddhism.
Enlightenment
The highest goal of life is to reach Enlightenment; a state of being that goes beyond suffering.
Dharma
The teachings and hence the way to nirvana.
The core of Buddhist teaching
At the heart of the Buddha's teaching lie The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path which lead the Buddhist towards the path of Enlightenment.
Facing the Truth
The Buddha taught that the human tendency is to avoid the difficult truths of life and this in turn leads to suffering. By enabling the mind to be at peace through meditation a human being can confront reality and overcome hatred and craving.
