Does the Bahai Faith mention the 3rd Noble Truth of Buddhism : How to end the suffering ?


Baha’u’llah also calls in people to detach themselves from the things of this world.

“Rejoice not in the things ye possess; tonight they are yours, tomorrow others will possess them.”

~ Baha’u’llah, Gleanings, no. CLIII, pp. 325-6


“O My Servant! Free thyself from the fetters of this world, and loose thy soul from the prison of self. Seize thy chance, for it will come to thee no more.”

~ Baha’u’llah, Hidden Words, Persian no. 40


“Disencumber yourselves of all attachment to this world and the vanities thereof. Beware that ye approach them not, inasmuch as they prompt you to walk after your own lusts and covetous desires, and hinder you from entering the straight and glorious Path.”

~ Baha’u’llah, Gleanings, no. CXXVIII, pp. 274-5
