Correct Answer - Option 4 : Gautam Buddha

The correct answer is Gautam Buddha.

  • The idea of the Eightfold Path appears in what's considered the primary sermon of the founding father of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, referred to as Buddha, which he delivered after his enlightenment.

  • There he introduced a middle way, the Eightfold Path, which shows the relation between the extremes of asceticism and sensual indulgence.
  • Just as the Sanskrit term Chatvari-Arya-satyani is translated as:
  • Four Noble Truths, the term Astangika-marga implies nobility and is typically rendered because of the “Eightfold Noble Path.”

  • These are Vinayapitaka, Sutpitaka, and Abhidhamma Pitaka. The simple meaning of Literature consists of a total of three pieces of literature.
  • They were composed by disciples of Buddha after attaining Nirvana of Mahatma Buddha.
  • In Vinayapitaka, thoughts related to the conduct of Buddhist monks are found.
  • Sutapitaka contains a collection of sermons by Mahatma Buddha, while Abhidhamma Pitaka discusses Buddhist philosophy.
  • These Pitakas are also called ‘Tipitaka’.
  • The language of Tripitaka is 'Pali'.
