The best way to answer this question is by quoting the words of Buddha himself, "Know this, O monks: first and now I teach only suffering and how to eliminate suffering."
Regardless of whether the answer is consistent or not with what you think, please consider this a good thing either. There are many ways to answer the questions above, but the Buddha's words are very appropriate summary.
Buddha teaches only dukkha and the path to eliminate suffering.The main principle is to distance the questions had nothing to do directly with the disappearance of dukkha. Do not spend time to ask, "Is there a rebirth after death?" Or "How's rebirth happen?" It things like this can be explained later.
In short, "Buddha does not teach other than suffering and eliminate road dukhha.
Furthermore, we may have to answer the following questions, "What is taught by the Buddha in particular?"
Now you are able to see that this question can be answered from different angles. First of all, we can explain that He taught us to take "Middle Way"; not too hard and not too soft, avoid all things that are extreme. On the one hand we reject the practice of torture itself is taught by certain sects, which only creates problems and difficulties. On the other hand, we must guard ourselves from the snares of pleasure passion. Avoid the attitude, "Eat, drink, and have fun for tomorrow we die." A cynical statement of those who indulge in sensual pleasures.
Instead, walk the streets of Central means not to cause suffering for ourselves and not swept desire worldly pleasures. Results of the Middle Way is a favorable condition to learn and practice, in order to successfully stop the suffering. "Middle Way" is also suitable for different circumstances in their daily lives. Middle Road will not make you get lost. Understanding the cause, understand consequences, to know yourself, understand the meaning of "enough", you know when the right time, understand others, and understand the community; Seven Noble Virtue is the way to walk on the Middle Road. Description This is one way to answer the questions above.
We can also respond equally well that the Buddha taught us to be a helper for themselves. You all must understand what it means to be a helper to yourself: you do not want to hear it again. In short, we should not rely on fate and destiny. We do not depend on god god, even to "God." We must help ourselves. Buddha said, "Make yourself a protector for yourselves." Even in religions that believe in God, there is the claim that God only helps those who help themselves. In other religions, regarding self-help may not be explicitly disclosed. but this is the important thing in Buddhism.When someone feels pain, lies, and very deep pain, he must immediately find ways to eliminate sernua it with the principle of self-help. Buddha said, "The Buddha is just a guide. Each person must try for yourself." In other words, Buddhism encourages people to learn how to help ourselves. Remember this is good good.
Another way is to explain that the Buddha teaches that all things happen because of causes and conditions. All things happen in accordance with the law of cause and condition, in harmony with natural law. This is an acceptable answer Shariputra when he asked a monk before he finally decided to enter the Sangha. "The Buddha taught: All things happen for reasons. We must understand these causes and therefore the disappearance." The principle of Dharma is very scientific and we can say that the Buddhist principles in line with the principles of science. Buddha did not use individual or something that is subjective as criterion, this shows that Buddhism is a religion of logic.
To answer the above question from another point of view, as a rule of life, the Buddha taught, "Avoid evil, do good, purify the mind." All three called Ovada patimokkha, which means: a summary of all the teachings (Buddha). Avoid evil, do good, and purify the mind.Avoid evil and do good do not need to elaborate further. purify the mind but not so easy to understand. If a person continues to cling, even to the goodness, the mind becomes pure; fear no longer get good, separate with kindness fear, anxiety, worry, and attached to this and that as "mine". All this produces suffering. Although we may have managed to avoid evil and do good, we still need to know how to liberate the mind. Do not grip or anything else attached to it as "I am, or as mine. If not, the grip or kernelekatan it will be a heavy burden and result in suffering. In other words, grip and attachment the same as bringing an object to everywhere all the time , something that is very heavy, a very severe suffering. Even the burden carried a sack of precious stones on the shoulders or the head of equal weight with a sack of rocks. Therefore, do not bring a rock or gem with you. Place! Do not put a heavy burden in the head (mind) you. This is what is meant by "purify the mind". Thus, purifies the mind is the third exercise. The first is to avoid evil, the second is to do good, and the third is to purify the mind. This is the teachings of Buddha.
One more very important Buddhist teachings, a message that must be remembered. Buddha said, "Everything that is formed (the whole thing and every creature in this world) has never stopped changing, always destroyed (all things are impermanent). Therefore, we must constantly aware! Look carefully at whether these words: Everything in this world is always changing and destroyed, in other words, nothing is eternal. This is serious. If you do not understand impermanence, this may hurt, slapped, tied, and hold you. You can be sat there, crying and possibly also suicide . Now let us collect and repeat the answers to the answer to one question. If you are asked, "What the Buddha taught?" explain any of the answers below: The Buddha taught us to practice the Middle Way;
The Buddha taught us to help ourselves;
The Buddha taught us to understand the law of cause and effect and set it properly to get the desired results;
Buddha taught the principle, "Avoid evil, do good, purify the mind."
The Buddha also reminds us that everything is composed of diverse elements are impermanent and constantly changing, and we must realize this by accurately as possible.
