The purpose of Buddhism is deliverance from suffering, so the practice is established, all efforts to cultivate toward that goal. Four Noble Truths is a lesson about the real situation of human suffering, the origin or cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering and the path or practice leading to the cessation of suffering.
Already a man, everyone has innate aspirations. Those aspirations were happy and wanted to have many wants no suffering or overcome all suffering as the suffering and the suffering occurs in our lives. It is an instinct inherent desire of man and also of all creatures. Humans and all living beings have a natural desire it. So people always have to try to attempt to obtain, and to meet that desire, especially those not suffering thirst tormented, or at least be able to overcome all suffering to yourself . The problem is human or, more broadly, all beings must endeavor as to how to meet the yearning desire happiness and overcome suffering, if any.

But in human life, the suffering is something that all beings, all human beings must endure and no one can avoid. Life is suffering is so mean. In this sense, the discovery of the cause of suffering along the guide, the only sure method and path to the cessation of suffering that is one thing that people need to know. If Buddhism is sometimes informally, Buddhist nature is teaching us how to live life. In this world, no one can claim to be in love and see her not being alert, not sunk in money, fame and love and desire.
Shakyamuni Buddha after his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree has solved that problem by giving teachings Four Noble Truths. As we know, even in his first sermon, in his sermon at the Deer Park, in front of him Parivrajikas, Buddha preached the Four Noble Truths (four noble truths). In this lecture Buddha has shown the human suffering (Suffering), the origin or cause of suffering (apron), the cessation of suffering (Anti soles) and road or practices leading to the cessation of suffering (Director soles).
Lectures on the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha Sakyamuni was first sermon after he attained enlightenment, it is a practical doctrine is not common theory. The Four Noble Truths are the contents of the experience of the Buddha's enlightenment has undergone and is also the main content of the first economic and trade Zhuan Falun. The lecture which, teachings, really subtle and profound by For over 2,500 years the Four Noble Truths its creation, content and meaning of the teachings that are still extremely valuable medicine, extremely effective for all beings, especially to humans on this earth. In that sense, all the teachings of Buddha were given as the dose. The main value of the medicine is that it cure and the Four Noble Truths doctrine is an extremely valuable medicine because it is very profound and radical suitable for all people.
Buddha taught: "If people do not understand what the Four Noble Truths is no other way can avoid the path of birth and death, do not understand what is the Four Noble Truths, it will not be able to find is the way to escape from suffering, misfortune from one life to another. "
Buddha told his disciples, saying, "Because not understand the Four Noble Truths that I and you have to turn a long year of birth and death."
Buddha once said in many of his sermons that were Buddhists, they must understand the Four Noble Truths. Who do not understand the Four Noble Truths doctrine, that person is not the true sense Buddhists. Or a Buddhist without knowing what are the Four Noble Truths and unknown practicing the Four Noble Truths, the truth is not a Buddhist, as such, whether he had taken refuge in the Three Jewels.
So what are the Four Noble Truths?
II. Definition of the Four Noble Truths.
Four Noble Truths, Sanskrit (Sanskrit) is Catvary Aryasatyani, language Pali (Pali) is Cattari Ariya Saccani, which Ariya Sages mean, completely pure miracle, Saccani is truth, the truth appears However, absolute, eternal, immutable. The Four Noble Truths are four truths that miracle, that four true miracle. Four Noble Truths is also known as the Four Noble Truths, the Four Brackets, Four, Four magical truth, four noble truths ... the teaching that Buddha gave his first sermon began sermon and formed the beginning of the Three Jewels Three includes news Buddha Buddha, Dharma lectures ie the Four Noble Truths and increased security in his immediate Parivrajikas.
Quartet is four. Magic is magic, is precious, is magical, is good, noble, noble. Empire is certainly clear, the best course. Empire also meant sublime truth, the immutable truth. And the word of the Four Noble Truths Sacred means holy. Four Legs in Brackets word meaning honest. In English, the Four Noble Truths The four noble translated truths (four noble truths) is so.
The four noble truths are the four facts undoubtedly, the most obvious without a pagan doctrine that might match. With the Four Noble Truths, the school director, Career patiently follow practice, practice intensely, possibly from the darkness comes up confusion enlightened certainty. With the Four Noble Truths and the Buddhist meditators may be compared to pedestrians in the dark with torches in hand enlightened path to the destination, to the brink of enlightenment. It truly is the magic of the Four Noble Truths.
Four Noble Truths, Sanskrit is Catvary Aryasatyani. Arya (Noble) is magical, noble and wonderful. Satya (Truth) is the truth, the truth. Doctrine of the Four Noble Truths is mentioned in the scriptures: God distinguished business center (Central III), Holy Roman Emperor of Distinction (Central Agama) of Zhuan Falun (Samyutta & Magazines Agama) ...
III. The circumstances of the birth of the Four Noble Truths
There is a story that happens as follows: There was a time when the Buddha was staying in the Jeta gardens, near Sravasti. When night about midnight with a shining halo region, and a god named Rohitassa to the Buddha asked:
- There is not, by going forever, go forever, I know, see or reach the end of the world, where there is no birth, no aging, no death, no ebbs and regeneration back in?
Buddha replied:
- Do not be, this fellow believers, Tathagata says that by going forever, go forever, we can not know it, see it, or to be, at the ends of the earth, where no birth, no age , no disease, no death, no ebbs and not recycled back.
- It was great, it was brilliant, White Buddha, he has given a great teaching that can not yet know, see, or to, take the extreme of the world by walking, go forever. In a past life of mine, when he was named Rohitassa hermit, son of Mr. Bhoja, through clairvoyance, I could go on the air quickly. There is a marksman, painstakingly trained, talented and has mastered the craft of archery. He held up a very stiff bow and shot an arrow light, perfection, through a long range of woods, then in that time, I can walk a long way from the East to the West Coast sea. Go fast and stride so, then I willingly go, go until the extreme of the world. And through the remaining days of my life, I go full hundred years, but also not to be the end of the world, and to die along the way. It was wonderful, White Buddha, is simply extraordinary, he has given a great teaching that can not yet know, see, or reach the end of the world by going forever, go forever.
- Indeed, the brethren, the Tathagata says is true. Not by going forever, go forever, but maybe until the ultimate of the world, the end of suffering.
The story above shows that people tend eyes away, outward or upward to learn the truth about the nature of life. But Buddha says we need to look inside ourselves. Therefore, the Buddha has achieved results in the Supreme Tao, the class, the feeling is also due thanks to learn the truth found in Himself.
After six years of school by the teacher and five years of ascetic in the jungle place without achieving the desired result, the Buddha find a secluded spot between lush forests, beside the beautiful river, day and night spirit collection samadhi, concentrating observe each element of matter and spirit himself, he found a light of truth, become the college level, the feeling. And from there he found the teachings to serve humanity including teachings on the Four Noble Truths and also so he taught the truth that all of the world are located entirely within the small body of man .
Thus, the entire teachings of Buddhism are derived from human and to serve humanity. Buddha always mention the issues related to human life, and the teachings of His precious always be based on facts and practical truths that everyone can observe, experience and control.
And, the Four Noble Truths doctrine also derived from humans and to serve the people, also comes from the days of meditation find the light of truth under the Bodhi tree. This is the Buddha's teaching in the early preaching so well known as Theravada teachings .
So after leaving the practice of asceticism, leaving five brothers Kondanna to hit the road practicing meditation under a middle path, he finally attained enlightenment. And when the religion, Buddha then thought must bring sublime teachings, profound evidence that he has been spreading for living beings, first thought of his old friends, he went to Sarnath, where five brothers are religious ascetics preach austerity with the first words: "I have seen there is suffering, there is the cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering and the path taken to the cessation of suffering. " That is the Four Noble Truths of suffering ie soles, aprons, killing insole and sole director.
When the Buddha on the Four Noble Truths at Sarnath, the first time the Three Jewels historically formed, in which the Buddha is Buddha, sermon on the Four Noble Truths is Dharma and Sangha is the year he Parivrajikas ie first five disciples of Buddha. So historically Four Noble Truths is the first sermon to form the Triple Gem. After the sermon, he made the five brothers Kondanna and that you have attained Arhat.
IV. The important role of the Four Noble Truths doctrine
In the Journal Agama (Samyatt Nikaya), Buddha taught his disciples: 'O monks, the monks do not let the mind to see the world is finite or infinite. That does not matter, it is important to understand how the suffering, cause of suffering and the path to end suffering. Things that are very useful, because he will certainly put an end to the so enlightened and liberated ".
Also in Business Magazine Agama, there is a paragraph as follows:
"Once, the Buddha went to a wooded area. Then he holding a handful of leaves, he asked the monks: "You think how the monks, some leaves in the hands Tathagata and the leaves on the trees throughout the forest, some any amount more? ".
- "O Lord, the leaf in his hand how much truth there is not, but the leaves on the trees in the forest around it a lot."
- "Also, the monks, what Tathagata realized that not teach, indeed much like the leaves on the trees. Tathagata taught only a little. Why? This Monks, why not teach Tathagata all? Monks This is because there are indeed useless thing, not essential to have a clean noble life, things do not lead to boredom, removed, terminated, peace, through reaching full, enlightenment, nirvana. So the monks, the Tathagata does not publish these things. And the monks, the Tathagata announced what?
This is suffering;
This causes painful birth;
This is the cessation of suffering;
This is the path that leads to the cessation of suffering.
That is what the Tathagata announced. And why, the monks, the Tathagata proclaim the truths? Because the truth was useful and essential to life noble, pure, leads to boredom, removed, terminated, peace, through achieving wholeness, enlightenment, nirvana. So the monks, the Tathagata proclaim those truths. "
In the Fourth Chapter Twelve is also a recording that after enlightenment, Shakyamuni a thought of thinking, away from craving, are static at First and attain the Enlightened One, and He dwells in meditation making, restaurant and quell any magic.
That shows the importance of the Four Noble Truths doctrine in the entire system of Buddhist sutras. The reason for the Four Noble Truths is the first lesson that the Buddha has already explained at Sarnath after his enlightenment because it is fundamental tenets of human beings in particular or in general need to know first, before all other teachings vast Buddha's. Just as the Buddha found that in all human beings have the Buddha nature, and if you know the right way to practice, the law correctly, he can become a Buddha. Buddha said "Necessary beings Buddha nature Organic phase "(All sentient beings have Buddha count) and with boundless compassion for all beings want to be beneficial in life that people who preach this doctrine first. In essence, the Four Noble Truths is a method of having two "theory and practice", put the practitioner to enlightenment. Four Noble Truths requires cultivation practice in our daily lives. Teachings Four Noble Truths called Theravada teachings. Thus we see clear teachings is the Four Noble Truths basic teachings of Buddhism not only with respect to that common to both Theravada Mahayana, not only with a sect which all Buddhist sects now from Theravada to Mahayana, from the East to the West, the Zen, Pure Land Buddhism or practice tantra are up to it. The practice renunciation or at home can not ignore the teachings Quartet Truths are, because this method poses all beings first before pressing issues that all beings concerned, it is the suffering and the desire to be free of all suffering in life. This doctrine help cultivators operating slowly learning one step on the way but did not give a straight direction and practitioners to Buddhahood immediately, but if you practice diligently and determination, can bring the practitioner to Arhat fruit, then Arhat fruit, one carried a step further with the other disciplines Mahayana teachings will carry up to Buddhahood.
Another noteworthy point is the Four Noble Truths doctrine, this is a common practice, suitable for all frugal, all levels of beings, not like some other method must have qualifications new knowledge is high. So, today is the teaching of the Four Noble Truths are valued the most popular in the world. European and American Buddhists are mostly practicing this method and study books on Buddhism, Buddhist Studies of the Western are the most talkative of the Four Noble Truths.

V. The substance of the Four Noble Truths:
Basic contents of the Four Noble Truths consists of four parts: Suffering, aprons, Killing and Paths insole insole.
1.- Suffering:
Suffering is the clear truth, the truth certainly shows all the suffering of all beings on this earth to suffer, as living is suffering, sickness is suffering, aging is suffering, death is suffering etc ... The pain was overwhelming in the world, in the life of human beings', making them born immersed in immense pain as the sea. So Buddha is often for life is a vast sea of suffering.
2. Tap soles:
Episode sole truth is only known cause of the status derived from earthly suffering. Traineeship is grouped, combined. So set substrate also means gather where there are reasons for his suffering? Humans and other living beings in general see suffering, know the suffering in their lives, yet they do not know the underlying causes of their suffering caused. Buddha has pointed out: by ignorant so people do not realize the general life of the Universe but every craving chasing the illusion to create now. That is the cause of suffering.
3. Removal soles:
Removal insole is real truth about the good realms that living being once eradicate the suffering and the causes of suffering and liberation. That is the end of suffering. Removal ie passed away, that means no samsara sorrows again. Meanwhile realm attained Nirvana (Nirvana Organic Balance). When renounce the illusory body, the body is no longer the four elements (die, president, passed away today entered Nirvana), then called parinibbana. Removal insole called Nirvana.
4. Directed soles:
Empire is the way religion is an effective method to eradicate suffering. It was taken to the realm of truth Nirvana. In other words, it is the right approach to take us to the path to kill all suffering and to be at peace. In the section on Religion soles Buddha point the way to all beings can follow to get rid of suffering and joyful arrival.
VI. Structural ingenious layout of the Four Noble Truths:
Teachings Four Noble Truths the Buddha presented in an unusual way with things in common to talk about a certain issue. Usually when we talk about any problems, so it is often mentioned as the cause is human before birth was the result. Any one of them by the human kind should generate results, there's a new and effective . But in this doctrine the Four Noble Truths, the Buddha presented a contrary way, but that's a wonderful thing about the method presented to the listener, the reader easily perceive, easily awakened. He said the results first and then talk to the workers, said the suffering before (Suffering) and then comes to the cause of suffering (apron); said the peaceful pleasures scene after suffering defeat (Anti soles) and then say to the path leading to immediate cessation of suffering scene nirvana that (Director soles). That makes today, the researchers Buddha Western learning when talking about the Four Noble Truths, often praised the layout, the structure of the practice of architecture, in addition to praising the profound meaning, the wonderful value of content Four Noble Truths .
In the Four Noble Truths, the Buddha bar initially shows us all beings on earth are subject to continual suffering scene unfolding in front of our eyes (Suffering). The scenes of suffering that everyone has from the womb until the end of life. The suffering that it is in our human right, because who is who in life never once sick, sick Pain, who not once encountered obstacles in life made miserable. Who does not love, no hate, no relatives or enemies; who escape death will feel free to do for fear, anxiety, sadness. It is a truth that can not be and nobody else was not found. It exists outside the will of the people.
Then Buddha said to the origin and the cause of his suffering (apron). Thus from a miserable reality, he is just out the reasons that cause suffering. But the reason that not everyone can know when their suffering. The cause lies in profound ignorance, the ignorance which is located on himself every human self-inflicted only. It's greed, anger, ignorance, pride, doubt, wrong. The ones that do it clung throughout his life.
Sang to the third part, the Buddha talked about scenes pleasure, peace after suffering a full end (Anti soles). That realm nothing is unrealistic. Once the segments are all human suffering and afflictions become pure mind would see Nirvana. So when did kill all the suffering, it is the path to enlightenment and Nirvana in the fact that in this earthly. So that the Buddhist would say is the hometown of earthly nirvana.
To the last part, the Buddha guides want done something funny, Nirvana realm must take the path of spiritual practice (Director soles). Here we see the Buddha presented realm freed first, then only the method of spiritual practice. It is a method of presenting a very subtle, psychologically correct. Because before guiding others to follow any path, to where must state how to aim for people to consider, choices. Once people realize this purpose the noble, beautiful, people eager, hard effort management to implement for the purpose by the noble and beautiful it. In the sole Director, Germany Buddha laid down the path to end suffering, to Nirvana is to perform thirty seven products that basically assistant Noble Eightfold Path.
Teachings Four Noble Truths is a basic teachings of Buddhism, is the principle of religious practice high-experimental. This doctrine says about the four noble truths are presented based on the law of causality. And in the Four Noble Truths we see two pairs of causality follows:
Pair of causation first includes:
- Performance before: It is the presence of suffering in the world (Suffering)
- Staff follows: Talk about the cause of suffering (apron)
Monday causal pairs include:
- Performance before: Talking about happy bliss when cessation of suffering (Anti soles)
- Staff follows: Speaking of roads or method leads to bliss joy (Act soles)
Thus, the method of presentation layout is overturning the Four Noble Truths: speaking part first and then fruit's saying. This is very effective for quick identification beings. So right in time before the year's first sermon he Parivrajikas, all the first disciples were enlightened right, breaking down all prejudices delusions, Vietnam appears and the wisdom of this position are attained fruition Arhat.
VII. Regarding the practice of the Four Noble Truths doctrine
The Four Noble Truths are the fundamental teachings of Buddhism. There is some notion that doctrine is the Four Noble Truths of the Hinayana. That is not true, the doctrine of the Four Noble Truths are common to both Theravada, Mahayana and for all other disciplines. So any practitioner or Buddhists who want their spiritual path can result certainly can not not learn the Four Noble Truths, because this method is the initial basic teachings of Buddha learner, though the Its results have slowly but very surely.
This method does not give the practitioner and Buddhists come straight Buddhahood immediately, but if with a determination to practice diligently, and that it can lead to effective practice Arahat. And from fruit Arhat, one will move on to Buddhahood, if determined to practice other disciplines of Mahayana. One more important thing is to practice the Four Noble Truths, anyone with an inborn or qualifications, practitioners can also follow this practice, and not have to have a high educational level are included practicable. The Four Noble Truths is a training method for all sects of Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada though, whether Theravada or Mahayana, though Pure, Zen and Tantric. So today is the Four Noble Truths doctrine popular in the world, so the researchers Buddhist monks such including location highlighted the importance of the Four Noble Truths.
2. The doctrine practice the Four Noble Truths.
The main important position because the doctrine of the Four Noble Truths, the basic teachings of Buddhism and the first biblical Turn Falun, so the monks and the Buddhists need to know how to practice the teachings. As mentioned above Buddhists (including home and home) can not be unaware of the Four Noble Truths doctrine. Can not understand the Four Noble Truths say that is not knowledgeable about the teachings of Buddhism.
Every man, anybody and everybody knows the suffering in this world is suffering. Buddha once said: "Life is full of suffering". And also the sage said, "Life is suffering, who can not tolerate the suffering, do not make people". The suffering in the world is a fact, a truth. But I have to see not everyone understands the suffering in the world alike. As students of Buddhism, monks and Buddhists want to understand deeply about the suffering in the world, is nothing more than listen and learn what the Buddha said in Suffering, because only in the Four Noble Truth New Truths and explicitly say enough about all the suffering in the world.
See all the suffering caused by substance abuse themselves, then we need to find out because where there are suffering there, where is the underlying cause of the pain. And if there is found to be the source of it, we can find a way to eliminate it radically. Therefore, the apron, the Buddha said clearly, fully and accurately the causes, sources root causes of human suffering. But when Buddhists see all the suffering in the world and the source of the pain was not so pessimistic with life, so depressed, sad, groaning like some notion that Buddhism is pessimistic, cynical. These people think that Buddhism is pessimistic, cynical because they do not understand the value of the following sections talk about Killing insole and sole director of the Four Noble Truths.
Buddhists when learning the Four Noble Truths, the method no such practice. Because Buddhists saw the suffering caused to human life, the best way is to try and eradicate the suffering, and the suffering has been destroyed, the joy will appear, peace and happiness will come with them. That only really get when implementing the teachings of the Buddha stated in the Anti insole and sole director.
In Kill Great, Buddha has analyzed and made clear after suffering defeat all the spectacle out is the path to purity, joy, happiness. Removal is the sole end of suffering, the end of all hope, crazy leads to peace and liberation. Therefore Kills sole truth of the cessation, cessation of all delusions crazy, what ignorance, greed, hatred and delusion the Anti insole etc ... So that is liberation, enlightenment, nirvana.
In the fourth section, the Buddha Tao presents the substrate that is the path to liberation, enlightenment, nirvana. Once aware of the truth soles Removal of the cessation of all suffering, there must be method or in other words, there must be the path that leads us there. So the sole director, the Buddha has outlined the path that includes thirty seven assistant but the essence of which is the three seventeen Noble Eightfold Path.
Teachings Four Noble Truths is a teaching practice, a very special teachings of Buddhism. This teaching does not have to learn to believe that is to apply, to practice religion in the path, to transform people. Therefore, the practice of the Four Noble Truths doctrine of the Buddhists is to thoroughly study sole director. It is a means to bring us to Nibbana, liberation and enlightenment. Directed sole method is to take us from the limbo dark to go down to the Arahat results, and that is the first step to take us to enlightenment completely once determined to practice the methods of cultivation to achieve higher Main results and equity bodhisattva, the feeling.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/6/2015.
