Hinduism believes in the teachings of a human man, the Buddha, the “Enlightened One”. The ultimate goal of a Buddhist is to reach nirvana which is a state of enlightenment where a person no longer desires or suffers and is at peace. The Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths. Fiero lists the Four Noble Truths as "pain is universal, desire causes pain, ceasing to desire relieves pain, and right conduct leads to liberation from pain" (11). The Buddha believed and taught that insight and knowledge come from following the Eightfold Path (Middle Way). Fiero states that the Eightfold Path includes “right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness, and right concentration” (11). If a person follows the Eightfold Path that leads to insight and knowledge, he or she may eventually reach nirvana. A Buddhist who avoids suffering and achieves enlightenment is thus freed from what Fiero calls the “endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth” (11). Only then has a person realized the extinction of the Self or salvation. The aspect of liberation from the cycle of rebirths is similar to the goal of a Hindu and Hinduism; Buddhism encourages moral behavior to achieve inwardness
