Teachings of the Buddha

Meditation (Samādhi) is essential for calming the mind, deepening insight, and cultivating the clarity needed for true liberation.

Living by Right Action means acting with compassion—avoiding harm, stealing, and dishonesty to honor all life with integrity.

Cultivate Right Intention by aligning thoughts with compassion, renunciation, and non-harming—the seeds of wise and peaceful action.

Right View means seeing life clearly—understanding suffering, impermanence, and karma as the foundation for wisdom and freedom.

Live with purpose and clarity—the Eightfold Path guides mindful speech, action, and thought in daily modern life.

The Four Noble Truths unite to reveal suffering’s cause, its end, and the path to freedom through mindful understanding and action.

Liberation (Nibbāna) is the end of craving and suffering—a state of unshakable peace, freedom, and awakening.

The Buddha described the mind as luminous, ever-changing, and shaped by thoughts—central to both suffering and liberation.

The role of mindfulness in the Buddha’s teachings is central—it grounds awareness, fosters insight, and leads to liberation from suffering.

Craving is the root of suffering in Buddhism because it binds us to desire and attachment, preventing true peace and freedom.
