Buddhism Questions

1. Siddhartha Gautama
2. An Old Man, A man with disease, a corpse, and an ascetic which filled him with elation and hope.
3.The Middle Way holds that a healthy spiritual life depends on a healthy physical life. It does not reject the body itself just the desires of the body. It also focuses on balance and not the extremes.
4. Gautama was meditating under a fig tree and demons were trying to distract him but he vowed on not moving until he under the purpose of life. He saw his own life on replay, how life was a cycle and discovered the Four Noble Truths.
5. Sangha is the first Buddhist monastic community with members of men and women from all walks of life
6. the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha
7. Time in means of the universe is eternal. They both believe in the doctrine of samsara or the wheel of birth
8. His reaction was rejection of the caste system because it was bondage that he too once experience. He allowed women to be accepted in the Sangha
9. No-Self, Impermanence, Suffering. They are all changing natures of reality.
10. No ultimate reality within. Atman is the ultimate reality and it is to be found within and to be absorbed in.

14. Tanha is desire, thirst or craving and is relating because the cause of suffering is desire.
