Abstract

Buddhism was founded on the teachings  of Gautama Buddha, a spiritual master. He was born  between the sixth and fourth centuries B.C. as a prince and  spent his childhood in opulence. His father had faith that  his son would one day be a powerful king. The prince was  kept away from any and all religious information and was  completely ignorant of the concepts of old age, illness, and  death. He finally found Enlightenment and became the  Buddha, which means "the stirred one" or "the edified  one." To achieve "Nirvana" from suffering, the Buddhist  philosophy of life relies on the accompanying eight-fold  path: Right Will, Right Faith, Right Resolution, Right  Speech, Right Action, Right Living, Right Thought, Right  Concentration, and Right Effort Buddhist education  offered universal access to education. Numerous  individuals switched to the Buddhist educational system.  Pabbaja was an accepted admissions ceremony for  Buddhist monasteries in the Buddhist system. Only  students who intended to become nuns or monks were  granted higher education. emphasized theoretical as well  as practical points of view. Bhuddhist philosophy is regarded as the ultimate and  perfect wisdom. The Bhuddha taught us that attaining this  ultimate wisdom was the primary goal of our practice or  cultivation. He also taught us that everyone is capable of  attaining this state of ultimate wisdom because it is  ingrained in our nature rather than acquired externally.  However, because of widespread misconceptions, the  majority of us are unable to realize this potential. As a  result, we will recognize this fundamental aspect of our  nature if we break away from this confusion. As a result,  Bhuddhism is a way of teaching about our own inherent  nature. In addition, it teaches absolute equality, which  Bhuddha discovered when he realized that all sentient  beings have this inherent wisdom and nature. As a result,  there is no inherent distinction between beings. Because  we have lost our true nature and become confused, we are  all different now. The individual's true nature has nothing  to do with the degree of delusion. The teachings of the  Bhuddha assist us in realizing this inherent, flawless, and  ultimate wisdom. Then, we can turn our suffering into  happiness and solve all of our issues with wisdom.
