In her article 12 entitled: Suffering and Happiness, the last question she asked:

<So why do the four ranked Noble Truths belong to the Prajna Noble Truths?>

A small ashram, newly established, but has been living steadily for a few years in accordance with Thanh Quy, including many seniors and a few younger ones, practicing harmoniously together. During this covid-19 disease, the ashram also did not gather in large numbers according to Canadian government regulations, so the ashram was active online. The content is to review the topics learned, to discuss them together. She praised the ashrams for their quiet practice, and walked steadily together along the spiritual path, both intellectually, studying the doctrine, practicing samadhi, and morality: that is the level of their practice. appear in the collective routine of solidarity, harmony, calmness, and serenity. No fuss, no rush. She will visit the ashram when she is predestined, following the invitations from the administration of the children sent to her.

A student of the ashram just asked her to answer the question she raised. She had read through all the discussion. Each of you - she would like to collectively call you, maybe there are some of you a few years older than you - all understand correctly the worldly mundane custom, the mundane and mundane base.

Now, she just summed up.

-       Customary (or conventional truth):  formally is to use words, writing, sounds, signs, gestures to express thoughts, emotions, speculations and discrimination of the mind. In terms of content: is the common view through the senses of the people, for example, seeing mountains and rivers is considered real mountains, is sustainable, listening to satirical words is said to be really sad and painful. Seeing yourself gray hair, sickness is worried, sad, not daring to think of death etc ... That is the view of most of us, called the truth of the world, or mundane.

-       The custom of Prajnaparamita:  The Buddha also stands in the stand of the world that leads people step by step up. He also agreed: Yes, life is suffering, people have up to 13 kinds of suffering. Being born is miserable, old is miserable, sick is miserable, death is miserable etc. ... So, the view is similar to the mundane world: birth is real, old is real, sick is real, death is real , any suffering is  true and so on . That's the first truth . If the Buddha only stopped here, then it is also the Continent, which is just like the view of the world. But he went forward, so it is not called mundane, but mundane custom, to tell the difference. 

From there, the Buddha presented  the second truth  . The cause of suffering is due to one's self. We see we are lost, so we are born with greed, selfishness, and collect all for us. From which arise: greed, hatred, ignorance, smuggling or so on. The second truth is also classified by the Patriarchs as the custom of Prajna.

When we know the suffering of sentient beings by the Fall, or by the Craving, or by the Gonorrhea, we know how to end the Suffering. It is the attainment of egolessness, that is without craving, that is the end of gonorrhea. This is  the third truth , the result is the attainment of suffering, liberation from piracy or, no longer ignorance, then enlightenment, nirvana. Chu To ranked the third truth of the Noble Truth, because through to the nature of suffering is emptiness, is illusory. Only can practice to end suffering.

The fourth truth  Buddha presented 8 genera, which reached the Chief Justice and the Chief Justice of liberation, ie Arahantship. This is also part of the elegant bowl.

 

In a nutshell, the Four Noble Truths, are classified as the Prajnaparamita, but the aiming direction is the Noble Eightfold Noble Truth. See as understanding the meaning of each truth and then have to practice meditation to complete the four positions: Suffering, Exercise, Removal and Path, referred to as reaching the Chief Justice and Chief Justice of liberation.

 Later, the Patriarchs also classified the Four Noble Truths as consisting of enough three studies:  

     About: right  speech, right action, right livelihood

     Concentration:  Right Effort, Mindfulness, Concentration

     Hue: right  understanding, right thought.

Therefore, we are not surprised that the Four Noble Truths are considered an important way of practicing Buddhism. But because the first and second truths also agree that life is suffering, so it is temporarily classified as the custom of Prajna.
