Some scholars believe that some portions of thePali Canonand theĀgamascontain the actual substance of the historical teachings (and possibly even the words) of the Buddha.[59][60]Some scholars believe the Pali Canon and the Agamas pre-date theMahāyāna sūtras.[61]The scriptural works ofEarly Buddhismprecede the Mahayana works chronologically, and are treated by many Western scholars as the main credible source for information regarding the actual historical teachings of Gautama Buddha. However, some scholars do not think that the texts report on historical events.[62][dubiousdiscuss][63][64]

Hajime Nakamurawrites that there is nothing in the traditional Buddhist texts that can be clearly attributed to Gautama as a historical figure:[65]

[I]n the Buddhist texts there is no word that can be traced with unquestionable authority to Gautama Śākyamuni as a historical personage, although there must be some sayings or phrases derived from him.

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

  • TheFour Noble Truths: that suffering is an ingrained part of existence; that the origin of suffering is craving for sensuality, acquisition of identity, and annihilation; that suffering can be ended; and that following theNoble Eightfold Pathis the means to accomplish this;
  • The Noble Eightfold Path: right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration;
  • Dependent origination: the mind creates suffering as a natural product of a complex process;
  • Rejection of theinfallibilityof acceptedscripture: Teachings should not be accepted unless they are borne out by our experience and are praised by the wise. See theKalama Suttafor details;
  • Anicca(Sanskrit:anitya): That all things that come to be have an end;
  • Dukkha(Sanskrit:duákha): That nothing which comes to be is ultimately satisfying;
  • Anattā(Sanskrit:anātman): That nothing in the realm of experience can really be said to be "I" or "mine";
  • Nibbāna(Sanskrit:Nirvāna): It is possible for sentient beings to realize a dimension of awareness which is totally unconstructed and peaceful, and end all suffering due to the mind's interaction with the conditioned world.

However, in some Mahayana schools, these points have come to be regarded as more or less subsidiary. There is disagreement amongst variousschools of Buddhismover more complex aspects of what the Buddha is believed to have taught, and also over some of thedisciplinary rulesfor monks.

According to tradition, the Buddha emphasized ethics and correct understanding. He questioned everyday notions of divinity and salvation. He stated that there is no intermediary between mankind and thedivine; distant gods are subjected tokarmathemselves in decaying heavens; and the Buddha is only a guide and teacher for beings who must tread the path ofNirvāṇa(Pāli: Nibbāna) themselves to attain the spiritual awakening calledbodhiand understand reality. The Buddhist system of insight andmeditationpractice is not claimed to have been divinely revealed, but to spring from an understanding of the true nature of the mind, which must be discovered by treading the path guided by the Buddha's teachings.
