Answer:
Buddhism is concerned with suffering and death, and attaining Nirvana by following the Noble Eightfold Path as taught by Buddha.
The Noble Eightfold Path is:
1. Right Understanding: accepting the Four Noble Truths.
The existence of suffering;
the cause of suffering;
the end of suffering;
and the end of pain.
2. Right Resolve: renounce the pleasures of the body. Change your lifestyle so that you harm no living creatures and have kind thoughts for everyone.
3. Right Speech: do not gossip, lie or slander anyone.
4. Right Action: do not kill, steal or engage in an unlawful sexual act.
5. Right Occupation (Right Livelihood): avoid working at any job that could harm someone.
6. Right Effort: heroically work to eliminate evil from your life. Through your own effort develop good conduct and a clean mind.
7. Right Contemplation: make your self aware of your deeds, words and thoughts so that you can be free of desire and sorrow.
8. Right Meditation: train your mind to focus on a single object without wavering so as to develop a calm mind capable of concentration.
Following the Noble Eightfold Path requires that a person do the above eight things. Nirvana (Salvation) is through what a Buddhist does. It is through works, what good things a person did with his life.
