Final answer:

The spread of Buddhism resulted in the influence on social structures, opposition to the caste system, and the establishment of Buddhist institutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

One result of the spread of Buddhism was its influence on social structures. Unlike Hinduism, Buddhism did not emphasize the caste system and often opposed it. This appealed to lower-caste individuals and led to the spread of Buddhism in Southeast Asia, China, Korea, and Japan. Buddhism's egalitarian ethos and emphasis on charity also attracted followers and led to the establishment of Buddhist institutions that played a significant role in providing services, such as charity, building roads, and running shops.

Eightfold Path is one of Buddhism’s teachings under the four noble truths. Others are the Noble Truth of the reality of Dukkha as part of conditioned existence The Noble Truth that Dukkha has a causal arising The Noble Truth of the end of Dukkha. These were the foundations that sprang numerous teachings on the religion. The fourth noble truth, the path that leads to Awakening serves as a guide to liberation or end of suffering. The eight fold path is further divided into 3 elements; moral (speech, action, livelihood), mental (effort, mindfulness, concentration) and wisdom (understanding and thought).
