Buddha taught his followers to the eight fold path (Astanga Marga) to salvation (Nirvana). He preached them to attain knowledge by practicing purity in fife and thoughts (Dharma). He said that ** was the reason for sorrow and one who wins over ** will attain liberation (Nirvana).
The eight fold path includes:
right view
right resolve
right speech
right action
right livelihood
right effort
right mindfulness and
right concentration
Buddha also preached his followers to abstain from **, ****, ** and untruthfulness.
