บทคัดย่อ
This academic article examines the key concepts of core Dharma in Buddhism, focusing on its foundational teachings and historical development in northern India. The study explores how Buddhism emerged as a critical response to prevailing Hindu practices by rejecting ritualism and the caste system while emphasizing internal transformation and moral character development. The article investigates how Buddhism flourished through the establishment of monastic communities, royal patronage, and scholastic centers, particularly exemplified by institutions like Nalanda University from the 4th to 6th centuries CE. The analysis highlights the enduring relevance of Buddhist core teachings through their emphasis on the Four Noble Truths (cattāri ariyasaccāni), the Noble Eightfold Path (Ariya Aṭṭhaṅgika Magga), and concepts of impermanence, interdependence, and non-self, which provide a practical framework for addressing human suffering and achieving spiritual liberation. These teachings remain significant today as they offer insights into the nature of suffering, provide practical guidance for leading a meaningful life, promote mindfulness and wisdom, and emphasize compassion and ethical behavior.
