The Noble Eightfold Path Gautam Buddha described 'The Noble Eightfold Path' the way to the end of suffering.
It is a practical guideline to ethical and mental development with the goal of freeing the individual from attachments and delusions. Finally it leads to understanding the truth about life and reality. The eight aspects of the path are highly interdependent principles and are closely interrelated with each other.
1. Right View
2. Right Intention
3. Right Speech
4. Right Action
5. Right Livelihood
6. Right Effort
7. Right Mindfulness
8. Right Concentration All these things are explained by the mantra Buddha Mantra : Buddham saranam gachhami. : Dharmam saranam gachhami. : Sangham saranam gachhami. Meaning of Buddha Mantras I go to under shelter of Buddha. (I go to Buddha, because Buddha is the guide.) I go to shelter of Dharma. (The Dharma is the path I follow.) I go to shelter of Shangha. (The Sangha are the teachers or companions along the way, without teacher it is hard to learn) Therefore with all three: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, we can follow the way of Buddha.
Buddha's basic teachings Buddha basically teaches us the following;
Do not harm or Kill any living creatures. Do not steal things or do not take anything which not yours.
Do not do any sexual misconduct. Do lie speak truth always. Do not drink or eat anything which intoxicates your brain.
