Buddhism, a Quick Intro

Buddhism is such a fascinating and interesting way of life, however understanding some of the basic concepts can be a bit confusing!

I’ve made this infographic to talk very briefly about just two of the major topics known as The Four Noble Truths, and The Eightfold Path.    The Four Noble Truths explains what Buddha Siddhattha Gotama realized about life and the human condition after becoming enlightened.  He then explained how to lead a life without suffering or dissatisfaction by using the Eightfold Path (which would probably be called a ’8 Step Program’ in our modern world).  We will talk more in detail about these two topics (Four Noble Truths & Eightfold Path) in a later article, but for now enjoy the picture!
