Details
The essence of the Buddha's early preaching was said to be the four Noble truths:
- Life is fundamentally disappointment and suffering.
- Suffering is a result of one's desires for pleasure, power, and continued existence;
- To stop disappointment and suffering on must stop desiring; and
- The way to stop desiring and thus suffering is the Noble eight fold path - right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness and right concentration. The realization of the truth of anatman (no eternal self) was taught as essential for the indescribable state of release called nirvana.

Novica:Ketut Kariasa
Ketut Kariasa is a sculptor who specializes in traditional Balinese artistry. "The reason I wanted to be a sculptor is because I was born in an environment where most people become sculptors. So most people encouraged me to be a sculptor because, in a sense, I inherited the art.
"I began learning from the age of 14 when I was in junior high school. It was my friend who offered to teach me. At first, I found it very difficult. But because of my strong desire, I was finally able to create a work of art.
"Actually my original goal was to become a teacher but, because of my family's economic situation at that time, it wasn't such a good choice.
"My first income from crafting a statuette was not much, but for me it was very worth it because it came from my own hard work. I'll always remember becoming a sculptor. I feel that I'm conserving my culture and the heritage of my homeland."
