Shakyamuni Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching in Northern India. When he was about 80 years old, he died of food poisoning, a frequent cause of death in those days The essentials of Buddha's teachings are the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, the concept of Karma and Nirvana. The Four Noble Truths are just an analysis, saying that there is suffering in the world, and that it can be overcome. The end of suffering is achieved by reaching Nirvana, which is identical with the ultimate enlightenment and which ends the cycle of rebirths.The Eightfold Path is the moral guideline that takes individuals in the right directionhow to achieve Nirvana Karma means that all results come out of one's own actions. And thus, each individual is responsible for himself. The concept of early Buddhism does not know a god or saints that you can ask for help. But by leading a good and moral life one will reach a better state in one's next life (reincarnation, the concept of rebirths) until the point when one reaches Nirvana,the final bliss. It is said that the historical Buddha himself had 500 rebirthsuntil he finally reached Nirvana ***** Description: A Cast Marble statue of seated Shakyamuni Buddha.
