Gotama Shakyamuni saw a way out of the cycle of birth and death, and realized nibbana, the immortal reality, the cessation of all suffering. He saw all 12 links in the chain of dependent origination that keeps beings in the shackles of suffering and dissatisfaction with consciousness, matter, and mental factors. Seeing this chain, Gotama broke it, destroyed ignorance, and left conditioned existence. “Everything that needed to be done has been done. The noble quest is over. The path is passed. The heavy burden is lifted. Death is vanquished, because birth is annihilated. There will be no more return to any form of existence” – this formula, recorded in the Pali Canon as the Lion's Roar, described what happened to him by the hermit prince Gotama, who became a Buddha, that is, a fully awakened person.
He realized that he was only 35 years old and there was still so much he could do. In general, a rat can have 1 thought at a time. A standard person has 1 billion thoughts at once. A scientist has approximately 13-14 billion thoughts in 60 years. Apparently, the enlightened person has the same age, no matter how old.
The so-called “Four Noble Truths”, according to Buddhist doctrine. Exactly: 1. Life is full of suffering. 2. Suffering has its causes. 3. Suffering can be stopped. 4. There is a path to the cessation of suffering, the so-called “Eightfold Path”.
But to explain what the eightfold path is, it will take quite a lot of time, because simply listing all these “correct intention”, “correct speech”, etc.on the list in general, no idea about the 8-fold path does not give. And to explain this clearly, you need to explain a lot of things, and then again a lot of things. So it is better to do it in some thread Buddhist center.
