Resumo

Buddhist philosophy is a profound system of thought that provides a unique approach to the nature of existence, suffering, and the path to liberation. This article explores the core concepts of Buddhist philosophy, including the Four Noble Truths, Impermanence, Selflessness, and the Noble Eightfold Path. Through the analysis of these aspects, the article sheds light on how Buddhist philosophy addresses fundamental questions about the meaning of life, the nature of consciousness, and the relationship between humans and the universe. With an approach that does not rely on specific quotations, this study emphasizes the presentation of a comprehensive perspective, reflecting the fundamental principles of Buddhism and their significance in the modern context of the world and Vietnam. The article concludes that Buddhist philosophy is not only a system of religious thought but also a practical approach, providing value in facing the challenges of contemporary life
