Some of the fundamentals of the teachings of Gautama Buddha are:

The Four Noble Truths:

that suffering is an inherent part of existence;

that the origin of suffering is ignorance and the main symptoms of that ignorance are attachment and craving;

that attachment and craving can be ceased; and

that following the Noble Eightfold Path will lead to the cessation of attachment and craving and therefore suffering.
