1. Death is inevitable
2. There is no one who hasn't experienced the death of a loved one.
3. All living things die with time and the only way to move forward is to accept their death.

Their relevance:-
Buddha's teachings are very relevant in today's time and they are more relevant than ever during this pandemic. We all must realise that death is common to all.]]> 2022-01-20 04:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001986665 Pranav S https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001987475 Buddha, who lived about 2500 years ago has preached about morals which are relevant till today. With the values we learn today if implemented can change the way our society works for the better. Buddha talked about a concept called 'nirvana', which is to be free of hatred, lust and greed. it is what we call true salvation. Unlike other religions, Buddhism doesn't believe in devotion towards god, Buddhism believes spiritual joy, to be as calm as the water in a lake. He developed the concept of karuna, which is compassion towards each other and a moral duty of human beings to help each other.(this is not pasted from google). Buddha's values can truly transform the world

Yes, it is necessary in today's world as not all people have the capability to accept the death of their near and dear ones. Weeping for anyone won't bring peace of mind. It will only increase the pain.

Yes, I agree with the message that Gautama Buddha has given about life. In the modem times, people have a lot to explore and move with the world at the same pace. If people don’t understand the practicality of life, they will be under stress which would in turn affects, their personal and professional lives. People need to understand that everyone who is born will have to die one day. There is no use being sad or crying over the loss. People should remain calm and composed in such situations. They should face the truth and move on in life.]]> 2022-01-20 04:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001988761 Ishaan Gandhi https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001988814 Buddha's teachings are still very relevant in todays world. The fact that repenting over lost loved ones is worthless, as there is no bringing them back.

This means that no matter the timeline, the teachings will remain relevant until the day humanity exists.]]> 2022-01-20 04:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001989331 Tanya Rai https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001989360 A true teacher leads by example and the Buddha lead the way by setting an example. His five principles, four noble truths and eight-fold path – all steer us towards a righteous life. In today’s world which is highly marred by violence, greed, intolerance and degradation of human values, his teachings offer efficacious ways to combat these maladies. His teachings propose practical remedies to the human predicament. The Buddha’s 84,000 teachings have shown a remarkable ability to adapt and to resonate with people at different times and in contrasting cultures.]]> 2022-01-20 04:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001989360 Abhinandan Naresh https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001989661 In the chapter 'The Sermon at Benares', we learn about one of Buddha's many profound teachings. We learn about his teaching of the inevitable nature of death, how nothing can bring back the dead, grief causing even the living to become pale and sickly. We learn about how we must "pull out the arrow of grief and lamentation" so that we can move on and accept the loss. In my opinion, Buddhas teachings still hold a lot of relevance in today's world. There is still loss and death all around us, and we must learn to accept and move on. This will help us obtain peace of mind, overcome sorrow, and even conquer it.]]> 2022-01-20 04:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001989661 Riya Tikate https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001990968  The Buddha was one of those who were very conscious of the many effects of hatred. He had seen people ruining themselves as a result of hatred. Buddha believed that hatred never ceases by hatred. To the Buddha the only way to solve it is that one party must stop. Loving kindness, which is the cornerstone of Buddhism, has not been taken by the Buddha as merely a simple ethical principle. He had analysed the principle of loving kindness into sublime life. 
 Another most significant aspect of the Buddha’s preaching is - Meditation. Meditation means the training of the mind. The word itself means development - a further development of the mind. ]]> 2022-01-20 04:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001990968 Kashvee Lalwani https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001991565 'Ruinous desires are the primary cause of suffering'. This is the one of the profound teachings of Buddha where he beautifully emphasizes on the pains experiences in the cycle of life. Self-content and destroying all harmful distractions is the path to end these eternal sufferings, with respect to his teachings. He, with his peaceful meditation attained the knowledge which was priceless. The knowledge predominantly revolved around attaining virtues such as 'satisfaction, peace, tolerance etc.'

These teachings are extremely pertinent in today's times, in my opinion. Majority of the people are trapped in the vicious cycle of 'avarice, vanity, ego' and other self-destructing emotions. To successfully overcome these issues of the 'modern-world' it is essential to be spiritually knowledgeable and peaceful. In this situation, adopting the path of Buddha's learnings of 'end of suffering' is the best possible option.  This imbues the values of compassion in people and makes the world a better place to live in.
Hence, Buddha's teachings are very relevant, according to me]]> 2022-01-20 04:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001991565 Gauri Saxena https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001992946 The four noble truths of life as preached by Buddha:
The noble truth of suffering: Everyone suffers but suffering can be overcome if one is selfless.
The noble truth of the cause of suffering: Suffering is caused by our desires, selfishness, hatred and expectations.
The noble truth of the end of suffering: Suffering can be ended by following the eight-fold path described by Buddha.
The noble truth of the path

Death is inevitable and natural to humans as mortals. We shouldn't grieve as it will cause harm to us, even though we can do nothing about someone who is dead.

Relevance of Buddha's teachings:
I feel that Buddha's teachings are very relevant today. Everyone desires for something or the other and when they don't get that, or lose that, they become sorrowful. I have often heard about incidents where people couldn't bear the pain of losing a loved one and died soon after them, which shows just how important it is to understand that everyone dies, it is irreversible, and lamenting will only deteriorate our health.

The pace of life is so fast that to catch it, we all have to move on in life as it never waits for anyone. The Buddhist teachings inculcate compassion, calmness & composure, joy among humans and they can help maintain a sustainable balance between man and nature. Conclusion: The Buddha's 84,000 teachings have shown a remarkable ability to adapt and to resonate with people at different times and in contrasting cultures. The teachings of Gautama Buddha are still relevant in today's date :) ]]> 2022-01-20 04:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001993225 Swar S Shinde https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001993976 Yes, the teaching that Buddha gave million years ago are still relevant.
Buddha gave 4 noble truths of life which are as follows:
1.Truth of suffering,
2.The truth of the cause of suffering,
3.The truth of the end of suffering, and
4.The truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering.
As buddha gained Enlightenment meditating for years, we can still see his teaching very relevant in today's world where we see the grief and sadness in people mind after  missing ther beloved!]]> 2022-01-20 04:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001993976 Niranjan K https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001996237 Buddha's teaching is very relevant even today. In this very incident he teaches us that Death is inevitable and should be approached with appropriate grievance as well as acceptance. More such teachings like The path of truth, Right intentions and non violence prevents or reduces one's suffering and helps in a better life. ]]> 2022-01-20 04:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001996237 Neel Saxena https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001996844 The Sermon at Benares tells us about the early life of Lord Buddha who was originally born as a prince in the royal family. On being exposed to the sufferings of the world which he was earlier unknown from, he left his priesthood and went in search of truth. Leaving all the pleasures behind. Upon attaining spiritual awakening, he gave his first sermon in the city of Benares hereby making a lady named Kisa Gotami realize that men are mortal and a wise person should not grieve at what is bound to happen for it only enhances pain and suffering.]]> 2022-01-20 04:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001996844 Aarav Gupta anujaarav06 https://padlet.com/richab1711/d1gh2nsaroenme1y/wish/2001997001 Buddha's teachings
Buddha's teachings are about freeing people from suffering. He talked about "The Four Noble Truths" - the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the cause of suffering, the noble truth of the end of suffering, and the noble truth of the path. 
He said that suffering is inevitable in life and that it is due to our attachment to materialistic things and our desires in life. We can put an end to our sufferings by overcoming these desires.

Relevance of Buddha's teachings
Buddha's teachings are extremely relevant in today's world. Buddhism is one of the major religions and is prevalent as the majority religion in many countries. Many great leaders and visionaries have also adopted Buddhism, such as BR Ambedkar.  In today's world, where materialistic desires and suffering have increased exponentially compared to Buddha's time, I think his teachings are even more relevant.
