Buddhism's Fourth Noble Truth
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2024
- What is the Fourth Noble Truth of Buddhism? We'll look at this truth of "magga" or "the Path" through a dive into the Buddha's definition of it in his first sermon.
NOTE: Kwok Wai points out in the comments that the quote about stimulus and response apparently is not by Victor Frankl, and indeed it's not entirely clear who originated it. See: quoteinvestiga...

About 52,000 subscribers ago, I found this channel when I wanted to know more about Buddhism and practice in a secular way, and I am so glad that this channel became a part of the dependent origination of wisdom that has changed my life for the better. Glad to be a Patron! 😊❤ Thank you, and I'm so happy to see how far this channel has gone in 2 years!
Hey that's wonderful to hear Juni and thanks for the support! 🙏
Alright, a longer video to wrap up this series! Thank you for your hard work, Doug! We love your lessons!
My pleasure Dosia!
I agree 100%.
Thank you Doug for an excellent video series! The more I watch it the more I learn from it....
You're very welcome Manmohan! 🙏
Thank you, Doug! This was very comprehensive.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Doug, thank you for your videos. This one especially speaks to me as a fuller understanding of the eight fold path and a reminder to pause on social media. When I heard you say how you wanted to respond to people with whom you disagreed, that hit home and to a lesser extent, impulse shopping.
Wonderful, David. My pleasure!
Really love this series Doug!! Thanks for taking the time and care to break the Noble Truths down and make them really applicable and accessible! 👏
My pleasure Mandy, glad you found them useful!
thank you, Doug!!
My pleasure Luis! 🙏
Great work on the series, Doug 🙏
Many thanks Jake! 🙏🙂
Thanks for this series. Much of my understanding of Buddhism has been self taught through online reading, so this has really helped plug some gaps
Glad to hear it John, you're very welcome!
I’m on a path of trying to find what philosophy is viable to help me understand the true reality of the universe. Thank you Doug for this amazing series
My pleasure, Minidu! 🙏😊
Well said, Doug. Thank you for all you do.
You're very welcome John, thanks for commenting!
Love your channel, thank you so much
You're very welcome!
Very well said Doug!
Yeah I too have a craving sometimes to correct people when they said something wrong or if someone speak ill of someone I like.
The internet can bring out many desires from people. And hate/aversion can be grown easily. Isn't that why we see so many negative comments, people can be very hateful behind a keyboard.
And yes the 4th noble truth is cultivation. It's not easy to go against the current of craving, if it was easy. We would be seeing many enlightened monks and nuns. Just like it's not easy to become wealthy, it is by far more and far more difficult to attain enlightenment. It's also easier to be reborn in heavens than to attain enlightenment 🙏
That's right Yasith, it's very easy to get overcome with anger or greed with all that surrounds us in life and now on the Internet. That's why we practice. 🙂
It s great work mr. doug
For 🇱🇰 "budu saranai"
Many thanks!
Thank you again Doug fantastic video 🙏🏯💝
You're very welcome Keith, glad you liked it!
Hey Dough! great video btw
I have a doubt regarding personality and Buddhism.
I understand that the more attached one is to its self image the more we suffer due to the changing nature of life.
Having this in mind, I have been questioning myself whether if it is recommendable to detach from my personality traits i.e. not enforce my self-image by sharing or saying things like "I like this", "I don't like this", "I am this way" and so forth.
I don't mean to stop enjoying the things I already do and like, I mean to not pigeonhole myself by tagging things, especially on social media because I have been noticing that using them just enforces ego by wanting to control the way other people see us.
My inner conflict now is: when going along the path should I detached from the things I enjoy like music for example?
can an enlightened person have a favourite genre of movies?
best regards!
Well what you're talking about are various possible practices you could use. The only question is whether they seem to work for you or not. So try them out and see! Just don't be too dogmatic about them: what works at one time may not work later on, and what works for one person might not for another.
Good points 👍🏼by the way I am a Hindu from Bharat...over which you made miseducated videos 👍🏼✌🏼🔥still I like the way you expresses Our Gautam The Buddha Our Mystic 👍🏼✌🏼🔥🕉️🙏🏻Hari Om Tatsatt 🕉️🙏🏻
Thanks much!
Brand new to these ideas. Where/how to I begin to practice? I am very interest in meditation. Thank you for any guidance.
Wonderful! Check out my playlists New to Buddhism: th-cam.com/play/PL0akoU_OszRjpRP1nwugCGAJF15oPbBLv.html , and Beginning Buddhist Practice for pointers: th-cam.com/play/PL0akoU_OszRihO7Z4ynccF5rmGgyfNLQr.html
Can anyone please link to the video Doug is talking about at the end about the question if buddhist practice is a sort of craving? Thanks.
I think I discuss that issue among others here: th-cam.com/video/ZTqibLMY1LM/w-d-xo.html
Pls note that the between the stimulus and response quote was popularized by Stephen Covey. Nobody is sure who said it though the Quote Investigator has some suggestions!
Interesting thanks so much! I see it here: quoteinvestigator.com/2018/02/18/response/
@@DougsDharma 🙏
Once again, Thank you for the wisdom that you share Doug.
Perhaps you could give some insights about the Diamond and heart suttras in future videos. Would love to hear your thoughts on them!
Best regards,
You're very welcome Mark! As for the Diamond and Heart Sutras, those are later writings, my focus is mostly on the dharma of early Buddhism. I might do something about them eventually though!
@@DougsDharma In time 🙏 You’ve woken my interest in the earlier writtings, so I have ordered myself some Pali 😊
You should make a video about the 6 life cycle stuff or one about the deity’s
Which six life cycle stuff do you mean?
@@DougsDharma like the 6 realms of rebirth if that makes more sense
I have an earlier video on the realms of existence here: th-cam.com/video/JEwQvlfMUf8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video Doug, great work. Which video is the one you mentioned about the path potentially undermining itself by producing craving?
I'm not sure which video you mean. If you're talking about the video at the end, you can find a link to it at the end of the video. (It's this one: th-cam.com/video/ZTqibLMY1LM/w-d-xo.html ). But it's not about the path undermining itself, rather it's the reverse: craving can under certain, narrow circumstances help the path to come to fruition.
Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!
You're very welcome Vimotti MKK!
I have crossed the river and I'm leaving the raft as I look back at the path my view is the Dharma my intentions is the Dharma my speech is the Dharma my action is the Dharma my livelihood is the Dharma my effort is the drama my mindfulness is the Dharma my meditation is the Dharma now I look forward with peace and happiness and joy for myself and for all
Well that's great to hear James, I hope you find success!
thanks by the way
You're very welcome Lucas!
I realized to have some small (but meaningful) misconceptions about the 4 noble truths, I'll think about those
Ah interesting, yes it can help to look at the early material to get a feel for them, but then there are other interpretations as well.
I wanna contact u
😊🙏🏻
🙏😄
I had just a quick question as one of the 5 precepts is not to kill any living being. But what does one do when you see ants creeping into your home that may cause a ant infestation does one leave it or take action?
Well these should be seen more as practices than as commandments, so how would you practice with it? The Buddha also said that householders were expected to guard their wealth.
Can you do a video on heaven how people born in heaven due to their good deeds and how people,beings bornin in hell(niraya) due to their bad deeds and the dangerousness of this infinite samsara!may you tripple gem bless
He’s a secular Buddhist so he doesn’t focus on that. You can use it as a metaphor to say that what you create in your mind and produce in your actions can be heaven or hell
Yes I've done a number of videos on karma that you can see in a playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PL0akoU_OszRgwcF_eKqxg8ok0w_dz2sj_.html
