Gautam Buddha says…


Buddha’s 4 points for simple but disciplined life:

1. The world is full of sufferings and misery. It involves life, death, sickness and grief. Even pleasures are painful because they are short-lived.

2. Desires are the cause of this suffering. They entangle us in the world.

3. We can save ourselves from this misery only by curbing our desires.

4. One should tread the eight-fold path in order to curb the desires.

Eight fold path-

  1. right understanding
  2. right determination
  3. right speech
  4. right deed
  5. right livelihood
  6. right effort
  7. right awareness
  8. right thinking
