Gotama Buddha's teachings are not based in belief. His teachings need to be learned and practiced with guidance so that you can independently observe the truth in his teachings to acquire wisdom. It is this newfound wisdom that the mind imbibes to gradually function in the world differently to attain a peaceful, calm, serene, and content mind with joy - the enlightened mind.

Since everything we do is experienced through the mind, if the mind is peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy, one will experience a life that is also peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy.

Attaining enlightenment, also known as Nibbana, is a mind that has attained peace, calmness, serenity, and contentedness with joy that is permanent. The mind can be trained to completely eliminate such discontent feelings as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, loneliness, boredom, shyness, jealousy, and all other negative feelings that cause the mind to be discontent and experience suffering.
