Buddhism philosophy
Buddhism identifies four noble truths: 1) suffering exists, 2) suffering is caused by attachment, desire, ego, and sense of self, 3) suffering can cease, and 4) the eightfold path provides the way to end suffering. The eightfold path consists of right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. Following this path through cultivating wisdom and throwing out negativity can lead to lasting happiness and success, just as properly tending a garden leads to beauty and greenery.
