Teachings of Buddha

The Buddhist philosophy is based on Madhyama marga or the middle path.

According to madhyam marga philosophy, both the extremes of the world- indulgence and strict abstinence both are avoided and a middle path between them is followed.

The main teachings of Buddha are summarised in four noble truths(Arya Satya) of Buddhism:

The world is full of sorrow(Dukkha)

Desire is the cause of sorrow(Dukha samudya)

If desire is conquered all sorrow is won over(Dukha nirodha)

Desire can be conquered by following eightfold paths (Ashtangirka Marg)

To conquer the desire, Eight Fold Path has to be followed:

Samyak Drist: Right Understanding

Samyak Sankalpa: Right Resolve

Samyak Vani: Right Speech

Samyak Karma: Right Action

Samyak Ajiv: Right Living

Samyak Vyayam: Right Efforts

Samyak Smriti: Right Mindfulness/thought

Samyak Samadhi: Right Self-Concentration

There are three base Pillars known as Tri-Ratna in Buddhism: Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha.

Buddha means the highest spiritual potential in every human being.

Dhamma refers to the teachings of Buddha.

Sangha is the organization of the monks practicing Buddhism.

China adopted Buddhism in the 1st century AD

The ultimate aim of life is to attain Nirvana, which means freedom, from further birth and death.

Nirvana is the eternal state of peace and bliss or liberation from the cycle of birth and death

Buddha had summarized the whole process in three words viz.

Seela (Right conduct),

Samadhi (Right concentration), and

Prajna (Right knowledge).

According to Buddha, Seela and Samadhi lead to Prajna, which is the direct cause of nirvana.

Buddha advocated “The Middle Path” in which extremes are avoided.

Buddha visited the Deer Park (modern Sarnath), Kasi after his enlightenment and gave his first Sermon (lecture).

His first sermon was known as “Set in Motion, the Wheel of Law”.

The followers of the Buddha fell into two categories −

Upasakas i.e. the lay followers who lived with family; and

Bhikshus i.e. monks who renounced the world and led the life of an ascetic.

Bhikshus lived as a commune called ‘Sangha’ founded by Buddha himself. In Buddhism, all the followers enjoyed equal rights irrespective of their Varna and Jati.

Women were also allowed to join the Sangha and were known as ‘Bhikshunis.’

Buddha debated in the language of the common people.

Buddha and his followers used to travel from place to place, and preach for eight months in a year; and, four months, during the rainy season, they stayed at one place.

Buddha died in the year 486 B.C. at Kushinagar at the age of 80.

The ashes of Buddha after cremation were distributed among his followers.

The followers kept these ashes in caskets and built ‘Stupas’ over them. One example of such Stupa is Sanchi Stupa.
