I have a friend who says he's a Buddhist. What does it mean to be a Buddhist?

Being a Buddhist means living in accordance with the Buddha’s teachings, which are based on the Four Noble Truths. The first truth is that life is suffering. The second truth is that there is an end to this suffering. The third truth is that there is a way out of suffering. And the fourth truth is that this way can be achieved by following the Eightfold Path.
