There are many teachings within Buddhism that make it a unique practice and religion; however, in my opinion the core of Buddhism is that to be released from all desire, and therefore from all suffering is attainable by following the ‘Noble Eightfold Path’. Desires lead one to all the suffering in this world. Constantly seeking something – be that physical, mental, or emotional – will cause one to consistently be disappointed, leading to nothing but pain. Not attaining one’s desires, forces people

The core principals of Buddhism can be found in The Four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths are the truths about life. The first one is that in order to live, you’re going to suffer. Mind and body can inevitably become sick and lead to stress in life. Second noble truth is that suffering stems from a cause; desire. They go hand in hand in an inverse relationship. If someone desires to be private, they’re constantly going to be worried about when they’re not alone. This

The Four Noble Truths are Buddha’s reflections about life and they define what is suffering (dukkha) and how to overcome suffering. The first noble truth is that no living being can escape suffering (Eastern Traditions, p.200). This suffering can be emotional or physical.

Many people translate it as “life is suffering,” but the Pali word for suffering, dukkah, just refers to anything that is temporary or will end. This starts the Buddhist idea on impermanence.
