The Buddha spent the remainder of his life teaching his insights to others, establishing the foundations of Buddhism. He taught that the path to the end of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right understanding, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. He also emphasized the importance of compassion, loving-kindness, and mindfulness. His teachings attracted a diverse range of followers, and he formed the Sangha, a community of monks and nuns dedicated to practicing and spreading his teachings.
