The Ancient Teachings Of Theravāda Buddhism

Buddhism is a religion and philosophy that originated in ancient India and has since spread across the modern world.

Buddhism is based on the teachings of The Buddha, or Siddhartha Gautama.

The Buddha lived in ancient India in the 5th century BCE.

He was a prince, born into a wealthy and privileged family in the Shakya clan in present-day Nepal.

However, he became deeply troubled by the suffering he saw around him.

He made a vow to try to find a solution to this problem of suffering.

So, Prince Gautama left his family and all his worldly possessions behind and began a search to overcome suffering and to find the source of true and lasting happiness.

After years of intense contemplation and study, including many years of severe privation, the Buddha attained Enlightenment, or Nirvana.

He found what he was looking for: the source of true and lasting happiness.

From this moment on, The Buddha devoted himself to sharing his insights with others.

The Buddha's teachings, known as the Dharma, are centred on:

The Four Noble Truths & The Eightfold Path

The Four Noble Truths are:

Life is suffering
The cause of suffering is desire and ignorance.

The way to end suffering is to follow the Eightfold Path.

The Buddha offered the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path as a framework to understand the nature of suffering and how to overcome it.

I´m a practicing Buddhist from Sweden. Outside my window, the snow is falling in droves. The snow lights up the darkness. Everything looks like a fairy tale. Going out to my park bench next to an old medieval church for an hour of deep meditation. I love Buddha's teachings

I am a therawada buddhist in sri lanka and things I have learnt and realized are endless. I am a biology student and lot of the time religious concepts doesn't add up with the science I learn. But buddhism was different. Things I learnt from buddhism, things that are in my limits meaning things I am able to experience from senses I have as a human always add up. I encourage anyone who wants to learn it. Meditation is not the only thing that helps. teachings go way deeper in to your mind and is truly amazing. Brings so much peace.

I'm a Theravada Buddhist in Cambodia. Samatha meditation and Vipassana meditation are very powerful practices.

I am born catholic and I practice my faith as much as I can but I am also intrigued with Buddhism and it's something so blissful and peaceful. There are lots of flaws with a lot of religions even with Christianity but I can't see anything flawed with Buddhism. I understand it is not really a religion but a way of life, a way to think and a way to act.

I am a Muslim from Bangladesh and I want to convert to Buddhism. I am interested to follow the Mahayana approach. The teaching of Buddhism is very logical and correct, hence I am attracted to it. How can i convert to Buddhism from Bangladesh?

[gmeister]

Theravada Buddhism specifically delves into such depths of the human psyche and realizes such unimaginable truths that I'm awestruck every single time I come across it. It is far more to-the-point than its more modern counterpart, Mahayana, which has taken upon itself the methodical and extensive usage of mythology and other magical concepts.

I'm from SRI LANKA and there are almost 22 million population and more than 70% of the population around 15 million are theravada buddhists so Buddhism is definitely the PREDOMINANT religion in SRI LANKA. The speaker mentions that Buddhism isn't a predominant religion in the country at 06:55
