Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Buddha emphasised kindness and the value of all life, including the lives of animals. Therefore, he disapproved of the custom of animal sacrifice. After attaining enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, Buddha taught in Sarnath, a Varanasi city, for the first time. He held that this life and the next are impacted by the consequences of one's acts, sometimes known as karma. To ensure that everyone could understand his message, Buddha taught in the language of the ordinary people, Prakrit. In addition, he urged people to question what he stated rather than just accepting it.
Hence, the correct answer is Buddha taught people to be kind.
