Top 10 Buddhism Quotes

Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, teaches that life entails suffering (dukkha), originating from craving and attachment. It offers the Four Noble Truths: suffering, its cause, its end, and the path to its end—the Eightfold Path. This path includes ethical conduct, meditation, and mindfulness to achieve enlightenment, freeing oneself from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). The essence lies in understanding suffering's nature, its cessation through the abandonment of craving, and following a disciplined path of right understanding, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration to attain liberation.
