    This page is all About - Buddha and Baraneskanda Viharaya        Buddha was an Enlightened Human who discovered the path to Nirvana (Four Noble truth) the state of non-existence. Adherents of all religions can practice Buddhist principles without incurring the wrath of the omniscient God because they have universal universality.
Here is how the Four Noble truth  are relevant to our problems. 
First truth: [Existence is] dukkha (“suffering” both mental and physical).
Second truth: Samudaya [the cause] of dukkha is tanha/trsna (“thirst”/greed) conditioned by Avijja (“ignorance” of the reality of self), upadana (clinging), and a cluster of other mental, biological, and physical factors. 
 Third truth: Nirodha (cessation) of dukkha is possible by following the path to nirvana. 
Fourth truth: Magga (the path) or the "Noble Eightfold Path " provides the way to Nirvana"
