Celebrating Bodhi Day: The Awakening of the Buddha 2,600 years ago is celebrated in Mahayana #Buddhism on December 8th (or the eighth day of the 12th moon of the year). We take this time to reflect on the Budha's teachings, meditate, and rededicate ourselves to the Buddhist path.

In #Buddhism, the three poisons (or fires) are fundamental obstacles to Nirvana.

1) Greed (Lobha)
2) Hatred/Anger/Aversion (Dosa)
3) Ignorance (Moha)

The absence ("extinguishing") of these elements through Buddhist practice results in our true natural state of Nirvana.

The Buddha's "Four Truths" constitute his inaugural teaching, laying the groundwork for Buddhism. In a manner akin to a physician, he adopts an "effect-cause" methodology: initially identifying the symptom, followed by the diagnosis, then offering a prognosis, and finally prescribing a remedy.

Buddhists endeavor to observe the "Five Precepts," which are not mandated rules by the Buddha but rather voluntary guidelines that serve to keep practitioners on the proper path towards enlightenment in Buddhism.
