About Buddhist teaching

Buddhist teaching centers on the Buddha's Dharma, aiming to end suffering through understanding and practice. The Four Noble Truths outline the reality of suffering (dukkha), its cause (tanha, or craving), its cessation (nirvana), and the path (Noble Eightfold Path) leading to liberation. The Eightfold Path provides a practical guide involving ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom. Key teachings also include impermanence (anicca), non-self (anatta), and dependent origination, all aiming to cultivate insight and compassion.
