The Buddha's Last Teachings

The Buddha was teaching about the cause and effect of things. He didn't want to just say, this is bad or this is good, but he said, look to the way you live with one another. And that is what is actually going to create the world that you live in. It's easy to say, war is bad, but what are the conditions that make it happen? So then the gist of the story as it goes on is his travels, the announcement of his death, the last disciples and the last teachings.
