What are the basic teachings of Buddhism called?
A
Ten Commandments
B
The Four Noble Truths
C
Shar’ia Law
D
The Five Noble Truths
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They are the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering. More simply put, suffering exists; it has a cause; it has an end; and it has a cause to bring about its end.

Detailed explanation-2: -Buddhists believe that human life is a cycle of suffering and rebirth, but that if one achieves a state of enlightenment (nirvana), it is possible to escape this cycle forever. Siddhartha Gautama was the first person to reach this state of enlightenment and was, and is still today, known as the Buddha.

Detailed explanation-3: -Another reason to back this statement is that the four Noble truths are what Buddha did to reach Enlightenment. However, a reason against this statement is that it does not teach people how to live life.
