Buddha’s teaching is very simple. You will get the results of what you do whether you do good or bad things you will have the good or bad results depending on your deeds. You would never get good results doing bad things. In addition, you cannot get away with the bad results of your bad deeds even after doing good deeds. You will have the results of what you do.

 

Buddha also discovered that everything is impermanent, non-existence of soul, and sufferings. He also discovered the causes of sufferings, possibility of getting relief from sufferings, and the way to get away from sufferings.

 

The way to get away from sufferings is the eight-fold path: 1) right speech, 2) right doing, 3) right living, 4) right mediation, 5) right thinking, 6) right concentration, 7) right determination, 8) right vision. Anybody can practice the eight-fold path following the method of mediation called Vipassina.
