This is the process in which an individual will slowly eliminate suffering from his life and could only be done by rejecting earthly desires.

The teachings of the Buddha are mostly aimed  at liberating humans as sentient beings from suffering. The Basic Teachings of Buddha which are core to Buddhism are; The Three Universal Truths; Everything is impermanent and changing, Impermanence leads to suffering, making life imperfect and The self is not personal and unchanging.

Which are widely credited on 'How to be Enlightened?' Though being the first recognized Buddha, Gautama insist that he was not the first to become a Buddha. "There have been many Buddhas before me and will be many Buddhas in the future," The Gautama said to his disciples. "All living beings have the Buddha nature and can become Buddhas." For this reason, he taught the way to Buddhahood which still is a present way of life up until today.
