Philosophy of "Siddartha" - El Buda
Siddartha's philosophy "The Buddha" is based on four foundations known as the "Four Noble Truths", these philosophical beliefs influenced so much that now many ramifications of Buddhism are known throughout the World.
Life includes the "Duḥkha", life is imperfect, to exist is to live with dissatisfaction and suffering, which are universal.
The origin of suffering is "Tṛiṣṇā", the suffering of life originates from desire, longing, craving caused by the senses, the belief that some action will lead to the satisfaction of said desire, but this is a illusion, for the "I" is an illusion of the mind.
There is the cessation of "Duḥkha", suffering ceases with the abandonment of desires, which is achieved by facing life as it really is, understanding the causes of our own suffering as something that nests in us.
There is a method to extinguish suffering, this path he called the "Noble Eightfold Path" and consists of the search for a middle point, avoiding excessive satisfactions and excessive mortifications, through ethical conduct, meditation, mindfulness and awareness of the present continuously.
