Buddhism, as mentioned earlier, is not a fixed set of beliefs that one needs to follow in its entirety. Buddhism is a non-theistic religion and an accumulation of philosophic ideas, that are a result of a prolonged experience. Buddhism means the 'teaching of the awakened one'. And truly so, this system of beliefs arouses and prepares one to respond wisely to the numerous adversities and situations that may arise in one's life. The religion does not force a person to follow the teachings. It lets people experience on their own and learn from their actions and deeds. Owing to a number of sects the emphasis may very, but the basic doctrines are common to a majority of schools and traditions of Buddhism.


The Four Noble Truths

The following words were spoken by Lord Buddha after he attained enlightenment. These four truths are the basic keys as to what materialistic life is all about. It lets one conceive the realities of worldly life closely.



The Noble Eightfold Path
The fourth part of the Four Noble Truths comprises of the Noble Eightfold Path. The eight keys lead to the surcease of suffering. These are the levels and stages through which the follower moves. The eightfold paths advises to abstain from unwholesome deeds, have control over the mind and attain wisdom.



Refuge in Three Jewels
After one has accepted the Four Noble Truths and has embarked upon following the Noble Eightfold Path, one needs to take refuge in the Three Jewels or the Triratna. These Three Jewels serve as the basis for the religious practice.


The Buddha
The Buddha meaning the 'Awakened One' is the title bestowed upon those who attain enlightenment as Lord Buddha did. Buddha can also be referred to as the wisdom that conceives reality in its true form.

The Sangha
According to the Buddhist teachings, the Sangha denotes either the community of Buddhist monastics or the group of people who have acquired at least the first stage of awakening.
