'Buddha laid stress on right conduct and values.' ln the light of the above message, explain his teachings on life.


Buddha’s teaching:

 (i) The world is transient and constantly changing; it is also soulless as there is nothing permanent.

 (ii) Sorrow is intrinsic to human existence. It is by following the path of moderation between severe penance and self-indulgence that human beings can rise above these worldly troubles.

 (iii) In the earliest form of Buddhism existence of god was irrelevant. Buddha regarded the social world as the creation of humans rather than of divine origin. Therefore, he advised kings to be humane and ethical. Individual effort was expected to transform social relations.

 (iv) The Buddha emphasised individual agency and righteous action as a means to escape from the cycle of rebirth and attain self-realization and Nibbana.

 (v) The extinguishing of the ego and desire would thus end the cycle of suffering.
