Welcome Buddhists and those of other religion, please come here to discuss and ponder over the mystery which is life, and to thoughts and feelings.
The Dharma:
The universality of suffering - People discover through rebirth, aging, and death that life is full of sorrow. We suffer this sorrow until deliverance is achieved.
The origin of suffering - Suffering is caused by the false desires of the senses that have been deceived into clinging to the impermanent world. The quest for immortality further aggravates human suffering.
The overcoming of suffering - If false desires cause suffering, then the desires need to be suppressed, abandoned, or rejected in order to nullify their effects. Ignorance of the way of deliverance and the delusion that there is a permanent self are the primary cause of suffering.
The way leading to the suppression of suffering - The noble eightfold path is a sacred path with eight branches called right views of understanding, right aspirations, right speech, right conduct or action, right livelihood, right effort or endeavor, right mind control or concentration, and right mindfulness. These eight branches are not stages that can be lived out in succession or isolation from one another. They are different dimensions of a total way of life.
Note: I am not a buddhist.

Let me say some info about this,It interests me so much even though im not a buddhist.(way to kill time actually).
Founder:Siddhartha Gautama(The Enlightened)
Beliefs:Karma(Cause and Effect),Rebirth/Reincarnation(more on Wikipedo)
Teachings:The Four Noble Truths
1. "The noble truth that is suffering"
2. "The noble truth that is the arising of suffering"
3. "The noble truth that is the end of suffering"
4. "The noble truth that is the way leading to the end of suffering"
The Noble Eightfold Path
fourth of the Buddha's Noble Truths,way to the cessation of suffering,It has eight sections, each starting with the word samyak/Sanskrit,meaning correctly,properly,or well,frequently translated into English as right,and presented in three groups
Prajñā-the wisdom that purifies the mind, allowing it to attain spiritual insight into the true nature of all things.
Śīla-the ethics or morality, or abstention from unwholesome deeds.
Samādhi-the mental discipline required to develop mastery over one’s own mind. This is done through the practice of various contemplative and meditative practices.

Honestly, if I weren't an atheist, I'd probably be a Buddhist.
