Background• Buddhism is
described as a religion and a collection of philosophies, based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, • known as Buddha.
![Page 7: Buddhism & Confucianism](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681660a550346895dd94319/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Gautama, is believed to have been born in the city of Lumbini, Nepal. Born a prince, his father, King Suddhodana, was supposedly visited by a wise man shortly after Siddhartha was born and told that Siddhartha would either become a great king or a holy man. Determined to make Siddhartha a king, the father tried to shield his son from the unpleasant realities of daily life. Despite his father's efforts, at the age of 29, he discovered the suffering of his people, first through an encounter with an elderly man then he saw the sufferings of a diseased man, a decaying corpse, and an ascetic. These are often termed 'The Four Sights.'

• Gautama, deeply depressed by these sights, sought to overcome old age, illness, and death by living the life of an ascetic. Gautama escaped his palace, leaving behind this royal life to become a beggar. For a time on his spiritual quest, Buddha "experimented with extreme asceticism, which at that time was seen as a powerful spiritual practice...such as fasting, holding the breath, and exposure of the body to pain...he found, however, that these ascetic practices brought no genuine spiritual benefits and in fact, being based on self-hatred, that they were counterproductive."

Enlightenment• After abandoning asceticism and
concentrating instead upon meditation Gautama is said to have discovered what Buddhists call the Middle Way—a path of moderation that lies mid-way between the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification. He accepted a little milk and rice pudding from a village girl and then, sitting under a tree ,he vowed not to arise until he had found the Truth. His five companions, believing that he had abandoned his search and become undisciplined, left. After 49 days meditating, at the age of 35, he attained bodhi, also known as "Awakening" or "Enlightenment". After his attainment of bodhi he was known as Buddha or Gautama Buddha and spent the rest of his life teaching his insights. According to scholars, he lived around the fifth century BCE. He died around the age of 80.

Siddhartha Gautama (563-483 BCE) Born in NE India

The Four Noble Truths• The Buddha taught that
in life there is sorrow/suffering, that is caused by desire and it can be stopped by following the Noble Eightfold Path.
• There is suffering • There is a cause of
suffering—craving • There is the cessation
of suffering • There is a way leading
to the cessation of suffering—the Noble Eightfold Path

The Noble Eightfold Path• The Noble Eightfold Path is the way to end suffering, the fourth part
of the Four Noble Truths. This is divided into three sections: • Śīla is morality—abstaining from unwholesome deeds of body and
speech. Within the division of sila are three parts of the Noble Eightfold Path:• Right Speech—One speaks in a non hurtful, not exaggerated,
truthful way • Right Actions—Wholesome action, avoiding action that would do
harm • Right Livelihood—One's way of livelihood does not harm in any way
oneself or others; directly or indirectly • Samadhi is developing mastery over one’s own mind. Within this division
are another three parts of the Noble Eightfold Path:• Right Effort/Exercise—One makes an effort to improve • Right Mindfulness/Awareness—Mental ability to see things for what
they are with clear consciousness • Right Concentration/Meditation—Being aware of the present reality
within oneself, without any craving or aversion.
