[QUOTE="Angie, post: 2599645, member: 209097"] You sound highly uneducated to make such a claim. Some of the fundamentals of the teachings attributed to Gautama Buddha are: The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an ingrained part of existence; that the origin of suffering is craving for sensuality, acquisition of identity, and annihilation; that suffering can be ended; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path is the means to accomplish this. The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Dependent origination: the mind creates suffering as a natural product of a complex process. Rejection of the infallibility of accepted scripture: Teachings should not be accepted unless they are borne out by our experience and are praised by the wise. See the Kalama Sutta for details. Anicca (Sanskrit: anitya): That all things that come to be have an end. Dukkha (Sanskrit: du?kha): That nothing which comes to be is ultimately satisfying. Anatt? (Sanskrit: an?tman): That nothing in the realm of experience can really be said to be "I" or "mine". Nibb?na (Sanskrit: Nirv?na): It is possible for sentient beings to realize a dimension of awareness which is totally unconstructed and peaceful, and end all suffering due to the mind's interaction with the conditioned world.
