What are the basic teachings of Buddha?
Buddhas teaching centers on three major aspects: Precepts (morality), concentration (mind stability) and wisdom. Disciplining through observing precepts is the method that helps one to achieve concentration. With mind stability or concentration, wisdom will be realized naturally. All sentient beings possess this innate wisdom or Buddha nature but are unable to realize it because of delusion and attachment. Buddhas teaching helps us to realize this innate perfect wisdom with which we can reduce our afflictions and turn suffering into happiness.
