Buddhist tradition

Buddhist tradition is a spiritual path founded on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha. It emphasizes understanding the nature of suffering, cultivating mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom, and following ethical practices. Key principles include the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which guide practitioners toward enlightenment and liberation from desire and ignorance. Buddhism encompasses diverse schools and rituals, but all aim to foster inner peace, moral integrity, and a compassionate outlook, ultimately leading to a state of Nirvana—free from suffering and rebirth.
