A Buddhist is a person who follows the Dhamma-Vinaya (conduct and discipline) preached by the Mahabodhi, Siddhartha Gautama. A Buddhist believes the Four Noble Truths (Pali: cattāri ariyasaccāni), which are: 1. DUKKHA - Life is full of suffering 2. SAMUDHAYA - Suffering is caused by unrequited desire 3. NIRODHA - To eliminate suffering one must eliminate desire 4. MAGGA - The cessation of suffering is achieved by following Ariya-Atthangika-Magga, the Noble Eightfold Path The Noble Eightfold Path consists of the following eight categories of proper conduct, divided into three broad areas: # Widsom--Panna * Right Understanding--samma ditthi * Right Thought--samma sankappa # Morality--Sila * Right Speech--samma vaca * Right Action--samma kammanta * Right Livelihood--samma ajiva # Concentration--Samadhi * Right Effort--samma vayama * Right Mindfulness--samma sati * Right Concentration--samma samadhi Although there are different schools of Buddhism, the above are the core beliefs of the faith.
