ARTICLE III-THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS

III. SECTION 1

CBasil we go into the heart of Buddhist Ethics part and we want to talk about at least Four Soles.

Four Soles is a very important aspect of Dharma Buddha has been identified. He taught because we don't understand the four noble truths to drift to roll forever within samsara, reincarnation. This shows the importance of the Four God, knowing the Buddha's Teachings, and taillight clear purpose the Buddha's teachings in the French article. first preaching in the Dhamma-chakkappavattana (Zhuan Falun) to five priests in the deer garden near Three Lü BU Complaint (Benares), the Buddha first spoke about God and Four Administrators. Here we see two important things about the meaning of the Four Soles. Four Soles is the casting of the Buddha's teachings, both from the doctrine or theory and from the perspective of practice.

So the Four Soles is the truth of suffering, the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering and the truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. We have the foundations of the doctrine of the Buddha to know and practice.

Before God, Ðiệu Quarter research we would say over the nature of France. And in this range, we recall the medical advancements in ancient India. One of the progress which consists of four steps: illness, disease diagnosis, treatment, and cure most diseases. Now if think about four steps in a medical experiment in order to heal, you will find them very fit Four Soles. Said another way, suffering respectively with the disease, diagnosis of diseases or more specific search causes disease, termination miserable pain treatments, and corresponding path termination miserable with the cure most diseases.

The above comes to Bollywood's therapy and the Four phases that it symbolizes, we like to say more about what it means. However it is important to understand God's Four known. When Shariputra (Echo and symbolism) in the Buddha's first Ðệ to meet Ashavajit (A-Suri Tran as, a Charming in the monk receives the first French post of the Buddha) and asked Ashavajit about the teachings of the Buddha, Ashavajit said, "I can't tell you the details because I'm studying his teachings but I can summarize for him". Symbolism of instant Echo said "very good, please summarize for me", and Ashavajit has a brief history of Arts of the Buddha's teachings are as follows:

All things are generated by a cause, and shall terminate as the great Ascetic Monks Ðại had taught.

And symbolism Develop extremely surprised about this summary, go find friend Maudgalyayana (Maudgalyayana) and both joined the Rising Communists bolster ties and become the disciples of the Buddha. Summary the Buddha's teachings that mainstream opinion lies in Four Soles.

The dress that shows the importance of the relationship between people and results. Causality concept is at the heart of the Buddha's teachings and also is the focus of Four Soles. But in the meaning? Distinctly has a starting point, the problem of suffering. This problem is due to many causes. Finally, there is suffering because of the cause of suffering, so must be the cessation of suffering and the cause to end the suffering. The above case is a negative process. Said another way, when the exclusion causes suffering, the suffering ended.

If you look at the Four Soles, you will see it split into two groups. The two first: God's suffering and the causes of suffering in the round of birth and death. They are symbolized by a circle with the meaning they run under the circle. The cause of suffering leads to suffering, suffering to create causes of suffering, and the cause of suffering to create suffering. We keep drifting rolling so as they belong in reincarnation (samsara). Two successive Soles, ending the suffering and the way to to end suffering, is symbolized by the real estate soắn. At this time the movement is no longer a circle. We move in the direction of the upper. If we keep the image of thought mental causation, we will understand God's Four easily. Also, remember the principle of causality is a very good thing for us when learning the teachings of the Buddha, when considering career in newspapers and regeneration as well as the issue of charm. In summary, through all the Buddha's teachings, we see the principle of causality as a circular bench thread.

Now let's consider the First of the Four Soles Soles is the truth of Suffering (Dukkha). Many who are not Buddhists and even to some Buddhists also feel uncomfortable when select gauge is the first of Four Soles Soles because they believe that this selection is a sign of pessimism. We often find people who are not Buddhists asked: "why is Buddhism pessimistic again? Why focus on the original right now suffering? "

There are many answers to this question. Some of you know the distinction between the pessimistic, optimistic and realistic. Italy we want to say it like this: If a person is sick without her, the pain is there for is not optimistic that crazy. Guys that like the ostrich burying its head in the sand. If there is a problem, the right thing to do is look at the difficulty and sought to eliminate it. Second, if the Buddha taught the truth about Suffering and then stopped, then there is no reason to accuse his doctrine is very pessimistic But his teachings do not stop in the framework not only for he God teaches about the Suffering but also teach about the causes of it. And even more important is that He taught the method of removal.

With all of us, if we are truly honest with ourselves, to accept the life difficult. Things are not as I thought. There are things where it's not right. Although we seek to avoid it at this point or at another time, maybe midnight, sometimes in the crowd, sometimes at is working; We have to confront ourselves, because things are not always so that something goes wrong in one place. That's something we have to find a solution. We find solutions for specific things, or find the solution by making this page wrong.

Broadly in Buddhism, Miserable truth is divided into two types: physical and spiritual. The physical suffering is the suffering of birth, old age, illness and death. Previously we have spoken to the Buddha met three elderly, sick and death scene when He sees a sick person, an old man and a dead body. We also see the fourth gauge is the agony of birth. B. is suffering physical pain that child to suffer properly, and make the pain of another. B. is the door ngâ leads to more misery followed does not avoid about illness, old and dead. Anyone experience pain because of illness, old age and death. Most of us have pain because of the disease, and we have also seen friends and relatives we painfully about such diseases. All of us are realizing the agony of old age, real time, not work and thinking. We got to see the agony of death, pain, and fear that the dead bear right. All the ones that gauge is an inevitable part of life. Though happy life where to go anymore, the elderly, sick, suffering, death not be avoided.

In addition to the physical suffering, the agony of the spirit. Because of gauge separation with loved ones, suffering because a loved one dying, suffering because a loved one is gone or because we have to depart from them. And then suffering because people have to see that we hate or those who hate us. There is something soothing in the form of gauge, such a colleague at the Department in opposition to us, we're afraid to go to work because we know that people will find fault where we. There are more formidable form as torment, torture, etc. Finally, because the real bridge gauge DAC, suffering when we don't achieve the desired thing, without jobs, without achieving its desire, when not win this thing or person surfing. The physical and mental suffering as only the knit fabric piece on interlacing of our life. But what is happiness? «Economy have happiness or joy? Probably of course. But fun and happiness that we have in life is not sustainable. We enjoy moments of fun, we're happy to have people love adjacent, we love the youth, but all forms of happiness that no durable nine schools. Not soon then chầy, we also have to bear the suffering.

If we really want to avoid suffering, solve the problem of suffering, we must find the cause of your suffering. If there is no power and we want to adjust to the right, we have to find out the cause. We have to find out or a damaged circuit, or a burnt fuse or primary power flow was cut. Similarly, when we recognized the suffering, we must find the cause of it. When understand the cause we can solve the problem.

The Buddha teaches the cause suffering? Sexual desire is lost or desire, crave excitement, longing, longing for eternal life, want immortal is the main cause of suffering. All we all want to eat delicious, like listening to music, and fun to have friends. We have fun with it, and we increasingly want that much more fun. We want to prolong the fun things. But we will never be satisfied. We like to eat a special dish, but when eat repeat it, we also find it boring. We search for other food, we loved this, but eat eat again forever and also bored. Then we go in search of something else, and we're tired of you friends. And so we go in search of more. Occasionally, the fun run led to the ruin of personality such as alcohol and drugs. All the stuff that is due to the desire to want to be satisfied and desire to enjoy the fun. It is said that it wants to satisfy the desire to enjoy pleasures like drinking salt water when I drink. If we drink the salt water to the thirsty, not thirsty most of that off as thirsty for more.

We do not covet the pleasures that we also covet material things. This we see clearly in the young Court. Please bring a child into a toy shop, the child will love all the toys in the store. Buy it for a second. But after buying this toy, it again began to feel bored and don't like, and in just a few days, toys have been thrown in a corner room and it requires a different toy. We see the clear desire to have a child, so what else do we have them? After buying a new car, we also want a different car? After buying a new House, we think: "this House beautiful, but like more if the purchase is a better apartment. A piece of the garden and a four-room house, a loft, or the House Manager (condo), which one better? ". Then we think out something to it: or trains, bicycles, air produced or Mercedes Benz car. Desires of wealth or property, subject to the three main gauges. The first gauge is difficult to obtain. You have to work, save money to buy a car or buying a home. The second is the framework to preserve it. You will fear someone scratched your car monitor, do you fear for your House on fire, rain or wind damage. Are you afraid to tell off because eventually the homes or vehicles will also dissipate.

Want to have a life of immortality is the cause of suffering. All of us are longing for your money, and want to live forever. Despite the suffering and defeat on the road of life, we all still longing for life. And also just because of life that we are mortal, death. And then came the desire to destroy, not to exist, is what they call the death is c u. This itself is explained in the nihilism and suicide. Longing for a living is an extreme. Longing for not living a different extreme.

You may ask: "Let's not have enough craving is the cause of suffering? The craving is not enough to explain suffering? The real answer so easily? " The answer is no. There is one thing more deeply craving is the Foundation of taking part. Such is ignorance (Avidya, or Sanskrit language Aviya).

Ignorance is looking at things correct, or does not understand the reality of the challenge of his life. People who have high culture feel uncomfortable when you hear them say ignorance. We remember Professor Lancaster of the United States has said it was told when visiting Singapore in the past few months. He said it was very difficult to explain to the U.S. University students when they start learning a class on Buddhism because all students are proud and very happy because as college students. Here you say them ignorance (foolish), they would react immediately: "we foolish? We literally is foolish? Without the right conditions, without the proper training, and without the right tools, we can not see the right things.

None of us know the radio wave without the machine produced. None of us know there are bacteria in a drop of water if no microscope to detect them, and none of us know the texture of molecules without the latest techniques of electron microscopy. All the events on in life, we only know and see through the special training, special conditions and special tools. We say ignorance (foolish) is looking at things not true, i.e. If we do not develop the ability to focus thought and inner projection, we would not see the essence of things. We often fear when seeing the roadside balls while home alone in the night. That could be a shadow tree. Because the foolish do we have to rảo, legs, hand sweating, and home decor. If there is a lamp we no longer fear, miserable because no longer foolish because we've been overlooking a shadow that is the root of the tree.

Especially in Buddhism, we speak of ignorance is said to us, the US is truth. Such is the basic cause of suffering. We give our body, thoughts, emotions are, the true self is the General as we see what the tree is guys can attack us. When we believe in ourselves, we often have the idea that in addition to having what the difference with us. When one has to think so, we thought that in addition to having what benefits or disadvantages. You may enjoy or not enjoy for us. Do thoughts of what we said above, we're craving and anger. When we believe in the existence of the US, the "we" actually existing, real independence, separately from the others, and must separate everything material around us, we take part in and longing and want the stuff that brought benefits to us and we reject what does not bring benefit for us , doing damage and not help anything for us. Because one cannot see inside the body and the mind, does not have a permanence, independence, we should not be able to avoid the greed and anger arising. From the roots and stems of this ignorance borne out the cònh part in tree, desire, evil, greed, anger, hatred, jealousy, kÿ puzzle, pride and all the countless things. All of the cònh tree on grows out from the trunk and roots of ignorance on the left would bring suffering. So ignorance is the basic causes, education, evil, greed and anger are the second cause or causes.

After knowing the causes of suffering, we can end the suffering. As well as knowing the pain in the lower abdomen to the left is residual gut diseases, we can do everything in painful. We can end the suffering by eliminating its causes, by excluding tham si yard. This is God's part to third, truth ending suffering.

Talking about the truth ended the suffering, the first obstacle we have to overcome is the doubt in some minds that whether the termination miserable has really done is not. Affordable we can really end the suffering, can we really affordable. In this range the trust or belief play an important role in the Buddhist leader. When we talk about trust or faith does not mean accepting a blind belief. We talk to belief in the sense recognized or that have the ability to complete the goal of ending suffering. If you don't believe the doctor can cure the pain in the abdomen, you never go to the doctor, you never drink, drugs or surgery and consequently you die of curable diseases. So trust in potentially curable is a prerequisite.

Also in this, as in other cases, people may say: "How can I trust have Nirvana? How can I end the suffering that I have ever known? So, as we've presented previously, none of us know the radio waves, if not inventing produced, and none of us know the nearest small creatures if not the invention of the microscope. Right now except a h c in this room, no one saw the electronic sound, but we accept them because there are some of us who are specially trained, and have the special tools have to observe them. Also, talk about the cessation of suffering, and reaching Nirvana, we should not dismiss entirely now just because we had never experienced, just because we have never seen.

The majority of you all know the story of the turtle and fish. One day, a turtle crawling out of the Lake and expose yourself to a few hours on the lake shore. When it's down to the water back, it successively tell fish what it sees on the shore. The fish do not believe. The fish does not believe there is a place like no dry land where it's very familiar. The fish does not believe there is a place where creatures go rather than swimming, and breathe air rather than water-breathing, etc. There are many historical examples of sexual orientation denied the other thing with the things we believe in and familiar. After travels in the far East, Marco Polo returned to Italy, and he was imprisoned because of his story isn't true with things at the time, people believe about the nature of the universe Trô. When Copernicus the solar theory swarms don't turn around the Earth that the earth turns around the Sun, he was not believed but also being ridiculed.

We do not give that cannot end the sufferings and attained Nirvana because we don't know that. Once we believe termination are suffering, can cure the disease, we may proceed step by step to cure most diseases. So when do we believe can cure the disease, then the success of the treatment is no longer doubt anymore. So to aware the progress on this path, in order to end the suffering, at least we have to believe in the possibility of completing the goals, and the ability to reach Nirvana.

III. PART 2

Khi we talk to end the suffering, the truth of suffering and destruction, we are talking to the target that the Buddhists are the next step. In the room the Buddha said although the vast ocean also has only one, the salt is salty, and his teachings as well. Although these teachings like the ocean, but only one, and that is, Nibbana. As you can see, although the Buddha very much like God's Four, three methods of practice, human physical charm, tam, etc ... all the doctrine he has only one goal, and that goal is the destruction of suffering. Such is the goal of teaching in the doctrine that we see the road direction and purpose that in Buddhism. Cessation of suffering is the goal of the Buddhist to practice but ended the suffering not only a transcendent thing and paramount.

Once someone asked us about the development of Judaism as follows: "Please indicate the end goal of Judaism and the difference between the objective spirit of Judaism and Buddhism?" About Judaism, we think is righteous that says religion has two objectives. A related to the present life, is to build a Kingdom of love, prosperity and fairness in this world. The second goal involves higher up to heaven after death. But in Buddhism, the way our more comprehensive way. In other words, the objective of terminating the suffering which the Buddha said so is extensive and comprehensive. Because when we say end the suffering, we want to end the suffering in the world to say, right now, temporarily or permanently. We specify with more details. Exchange rate example, we are in poverty, lack of food, medicine, school, etc. There are suffering as birth, pain, illness, and old age, separate ones, meet their distaste. When we improve the situation here and now by prosperity, development and medical education system, will reduce the suffering. DAO Buddha taught us happy or miserable in the realms of life is due to the actions of the past.

In other words, if we are lucky, that is the result of the good or wholesome deeds in the past. Similarly, people who see themselves not as lucky as the result of any friendly actions done in the past.

DAO Buddha way to end suffering? A brief talk, practice results catechism is a relatively happy life. If happiness is material, we will have the better physical conditions, and if the spirit, we will have peace and comfort. All this can gain now in the realms of this life and right now. That's another dimension of the cessation of suffering in this life. And this is equivalent to what Jews call the Kingdom on Earth. In addition, the cessation of suffering is meant to create happiness and prosperity for the next life. means rebirth in affluent circumstances, happy, prosperous, healthy, happy, successful, etc. The dress that could have been for humans on earth or in heaven. We can compare the heaven of Judaism has to say. First goal of Buddhism is happy and thriving in this and next life. But the goal of Buddhism is not only flexible and this difference with Judaism because Buddhism is not the promised happiness and prosperity for this and the next life, Buddhism advocates the liberation, entered Nirvana, and ending sufferings absolutely, completely and permanently. Such is the target and of Buddhism.

When it comes to Nirvana, we are very difficult to explain because when we it comes to experience, and authentic nature of this experience cannot be achieved. Nirvana can only get to know yourself. That gives the right to every experience in case anyone would like the experience of the taste of salt, sugar dark chocolate-she-la, or anything else. All the experience can't be described properly. I often consult Singapore on this point. You imagine we arrived a new origin have Durian. We have never eaten this fruit ever. How do correct spelling of this fruit flavors when I never eat? We can only describe by comparison or contrast or thinking wrong. For example, you can say it is slightly acidic, and Durian are powder. You can also say it's like the left jackfruit, or you could also say it's not like bananas. So we meet many similar difficulties when we explain Nibbana. We see the Buddha and the shamans use describe Nibbana as follows.

The Buddha described Nirvana as the supreme happiness, peace, is immortal. Just like that, He described Nirvana as no artifacts, no general, in addition to ground, water, fire, wind, in addition to the Sun, the Moon, hard to detect, not measurable. So we have two way of describing Nibbana. In a positive way as we compare Nirvana with what we see in this world as happy and energetic peace deep in the center of the mosaic, or we imagine Nirvana as a fleeting image. Unlike the jackfruit Durian. Also, can we say Nirvana does not look like something out of this world at all, and also does not look like what we see every day. Nibbana with no artifacts. It's beyond the Sun, the moon. It's beyond all the title and General that we often use to specify what we see in this world.

The key issue is to understand that the main reason Nirvana we found only. No idea what the left like durian, we eat. Chattering, no Durian description by just eating it away. We have the experience to terminate the suffering of themselves, and the way you practice is cause for exclusion born of suffering--the weapon of education-(Raga), anger (Dosha) and delusion (Avidya). When we eliminate all the causes of suffering, we will achieve Nirvana for themselves.

ARTICLE IV-BOWL FINANCES SCOUTS

Lthis stars eradicate the causes of suffering? The way to eliminate the box directly under leads to suffering? Such is the path of Buddha. Such is the Central Dao, way more prepared. You recall the life of the Buddha has two stages before You enlightenment. The stage before He renounced the worldly life, after enjoying a sumptuous. For example, You have three castles, each castle for a season. He lives far from the United States to the point that we can't imagine. This golden period and replaced by six years of extreme austerities and ascetic after He renounced worldly pleasures to live screens, sun shining land, shabby clothes and suffered hunger and thirst in a long time. In addition to the deprivation on, he suffered the painful torment of the body when practiced flagellation, sleep on a bed of thorns, sitting between the fire under the hot fierce of the Sun at noonday. After having experienced the luxury and deprivation to the extreme, You realize they're frivolous, and discover the middle path of ethics to avoid extremism of the amorous fun and flagellation. Awareness of the nature of the two extremists that do experience yourself, You proceed to the Central Dao is the way to avoid both extreme. We will see in the following sections, the Central Dao has portions in-depth explanation and meaning, but the most essential and important is the aircondition in the lifestyle, attitude, and his work.

We get three examples of a rope to symbolize the Central Dao. The Buddha has the Sami name Sona meditate too much to continue. Sona wants feedback. To understand the problem, He successively asked: "Sona, before children become monks, the son is a musician, right?". Sona answered: "Mr. right". He continued: "As you know, string musicians would create sound and melodic? It stretch? ' "Mr. no" Sona answered "wired strain, the forums are not definitive and will be called upon at any time". "Duplicate string too?" "Dear wired infections too, the Forum also did not call for, wish for the right line or calling for a herd of strain and also not too". Just as lavish life too, then let go of the lung, and undisciplined. Living flagellation is too strict, too stressful, causing mental and physical sôp failure, the same as the string will stretch too loose at any time.

Especially, the way of the Buddhists go to the goal like a prescription. A doctor treated a patient with severe pain award, not the prescription for healing the physical but also the mental healing. For example, if a person is sick, sick people not only cure by medications not only that abstinence and avoid eating those things do nervous tension. Then again, if we read the instructions to end the suffering, I saw the teachings not only comes to the body, speech and actions, but also said to feel.

In other words, the Chief Ethics Bowl is a way to terminate the suffering, easy to understand and is a general treatment method. This method sets out to cure the cause of the exclusion, and due to the treatment but also of mental.

The Chief Justice (primary value for understanding) is the first step of the Chief Ethics Bowl and followed by the Chief Justice, the Chief Justice, the Chief Justice, the Chief Justice, the Chief Justice Network, Mindfulness and the Chief Justice to determine why start by Chief Justice Opinion? Because probably like to climb mountains, we must see clearly the peak. This means the first step depends on the last step. We must see the goal in sight if we have to go through a path to progress to that goal. In this sense, the Chief Justice only direction and guides the steps that follow. We see here the first two steps, the Chief Justice and the Chief Justice in Thinking about the mind. Thanks to the Chief Justice and the Chief Justice, we eliminate the delusion, greed and anger. Just say the Chief Justice and the Chief Justice of thinking eliminate ignorance, greed and anger. We need pure body to reach the two virtues. Want, we must practice the six remaining steps. We stick to pure meditate more easily, and when the purity of mind, we reached the Chief Justice Opinion more easily.

The interests, traditionally the Chief Ethics Bowl is divided into two or three practice access practice: virtue (World), meditation or exercise (to determine) and wisdom (Hue). Eight steps are broken into three practicing as follows-Speech, the Chief Justice and the Chief Justice in the happy World Network; The Chief Justice, the Chief Justice and Mindfulness in to determine how cultivating the mind-the Chief Justice and the Chief Justice in Thinking about wisdom. Because probably essential to pure speech (password) and our actions before the purity of mind.

As the Chief Ethics Bowl is the means to progress towards the goal of Buddhism, we go into the third method the following practice.
