Answer: It was believed to bring about an end to suffering
Step-by-step explanation:
After Siddhartha Gautama gained enlightenment and became the Buddha, he preached to many to make them understand that suffering existed in this world but there was also a way to end it, following the Eightfold Path.
In a world that was beset with suffering, the people readily took this message in because they wanted their suffering to end and they believed that Buddhism could make this happen.
