The Four Noble Truths Suffering Exists Humans are pre-occupied with self- centeredness. This leads to pain, misery, sorrow, and unfulfillment. Desire Causes Suffering We suffer because our ego dupes us into believing that we need that which is not permanent Ending of Desire Brings the end to Suffering One must see things as they really are, not simply as they are for ourselves. We need a universal compassion toward all living creatures. This is not a belief, it is an action. Ending of Desire Is Found Through the Eightfold Path: The observance of the truths of the Eightfold Path is at the heart of the Buddhist life.

The Noble Eightfold Path

Wisdom (Panna) 1. The Right View 2. The Right Thoughts (know the truth and resist self-centeredness)

Morality (sila) 3. The Right Speech 4. The Right Action 5. The Right Livelihood (refrain from unkind, negative speech, respect all life and work for the good of others)

Meditation (Samadhi) 6. The Right Effort 7. The Right Mindfulness 8. The Right Contemplation (freeing the mind of evil, elevate one’s thoughts beyond the haze of emotion and mood, practice the discipline of meditation)

Nirvana Although Buddha’s immediate goal was to eliminate the cause of suffering, his ultimate goal was to become liberated from the cycle of death and rebirth. This was to be accomplished by teaching how we can let go to our existence here on earth. Once successful, karma no longer matters. We have reached enlightenment and therefore have experienced Nirvana.

The Wheel of Samsara (or Life)

According to Buddhism, the following things interfere with a person’s ability to achieve Nirvana: Self-Delusion Self-Delusion Doubt Doubt Clinging to Ritual Clinging to Ritual Sensuous Lust Sensuous Lust Ill Will Ill Will Greed for material existence Greed for material existence Greed for nonmaterial existence Greed for nonmaterial existence Conceit Conceit Restlessness Restlessness Ignorance Ignorance
