A. Gautama, founder of Buddhism, was common fisherman.


B. Buddhism remains a dominant religion in present-day India.


C. In India, Buddhists accepted the Hindu caste system.


D. Buddhists taught the virtues of the eightfold path.|||Only D is true. Gautama is a prince so A is WRONG. Hinduism is the dominant religion in India so B is wrong. C is also wrong. Buddhism does not have a structured caste system.





D is the correct answer!|||letter D is quite near to the Buddhist Philosophy.... others are out of the question...|||well I know the first one is wrong Siddhartha Gautama was the son of a king. the rest I don't know.|||E. Buddha always did his own homework.|||D: The Buddha taught that the Middle Way or Noble Eightfold Path is the means to ending suffering to attain peace and happiness:





There is much to learn when it comes to Buddhism - if you are studying this philosophy with purpose to practise it - encourage you to take it slow.





Start out by understanding the Four Noble Truths %26amp; the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism:








The Buddha's way to Presence was through the problem of suffering.





What is suffering, he asked. How does it arise?


Can it be ended? How do we end it? When other spiritual teachers and philosophers asked


The Buddha to describe his teaching - he answered: "I teach one thing and one thing only -


Suffering and the End of Suffering."





The Buddha formulated in his first teaching


the Four Noble Truths: suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation(end) of suffering, and


the Path to cessation. The Four Noble Truths


of Lord Buddha are in fact based on a simple


problem-solving model:





What is the problem?





What is the root of the problem?





Is there a solution?





How do you put the solution into effect?








As you may already know, the Middle Way or The Noble Eightfold Path is the Solution and it in itself teaches How to put the Solution into


effect.





Suffering takes place from emotional reactivity.


Is it possible to disengage from reactivity?


Yes. Reactive patterns within humanity have been in place for a long time. To dismantle these patterns we must take apart our lives. Attention works to dismantle patterns the way the energy


of the sun melts ice. The direct energy of attention dissolves the structure of unwholesome patterns, releasing the energy locked in them. We experience the freed energy as awareness and presence.





To Cultivate and apply Attention, we travel the Eightfold Path: Skillful Speech, Skillful Action,


Skillful Livelihood, Skillful Effort, Skillful Mindfulness, Skillful Attention, Skillful View and Skillful Cognition. The Best means to cultivate Attention is through mindfulness meditation: as we daily walk the Noble Eightfold Path with wisdom and compassion.





Respectfully, reading "Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness" by: Bhante Henepola Gunaratana AND reading "Wake Up to your Life: The Buddhist Path of Attention" by: Ken McLeod may be quite encouraging toward your experience of living in the here and now-with mindfulness and presence.
