Discussion
Which of the following statements are true about Buddha's teachings ?
A. Our sufferings and unhappiness are a result of our past births.
B. Our sufferings and unhappiness are a result of our cravings and desires.
C. All believers had to accept and follow the teachings of Buddha for a happy life.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: D
The true statements are A and B.
The Buddha taught that life is full of suffering and unhappiness, caused by our cravings and desires (B). He also believed that the results of our actions (karma), good or bad, affect us both in this life and in the next, so suffering is linked to actions in past births (A).
Statement C is false. The Buddha encouraged people to think for themselves and test his teachings against their own experience, rather than simply accept and follow them. He taught in the language of ordinary people so that everyone could understand. Options including C are therefore wrong.
