[[Buddhism]] is a religion that traces its roots back to the teachings of [[Siddhartha Gautama]]. Central ideas of Buddhist belief and practice are [[karma]], rebirth, and [[Anicca|impermanence]]. Most Buddhists believe that life is full of [[dukkha|suffering]], but that suffering can be overcome by attaining enlightenment. [[Nirvana]] can be obtained by breaking away from (material) attachments and purifying the mind. However, different doctrines vary on the practices and paths followed in order to do so.<ref name=Craig />

Another concept prominent in the Buddhist belief system is the Eight-Fold Path. The [[Noble Eightfold Path]] is the fourth of the [[Four Noble Truths]], which is said to be the first of all Buddha's teachings.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Allan|first1=John|title=The Eight-Fold Path|url=http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/8foldpath.htm|access-date=13 February 2015}}</ref> It stresses areas in life that can be explored and practice, such as right speech and right intention.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Nourie|first1=Dana|title=What is the Eightfold Path?|url=http://secularbuddhism.org/2013/05/03/what-is-the-eightfold-path/|access-date=13 February 2015}}</ref>
