Buddhist Beliefs: The Four Noble Truths
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2013
- The Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path are fundamental teachings in Buddhism. They are considered equally important among all the Buddhist schools and are central to the core of Buddhist beliefs. Sometimes Buddhists are criticized for always talking about suffering (because of the First Noble Truth); yet the majority of Buddhist teachers I've come across, if not all, are the most peaceful and joyous people I've ever met. So surely, there is more to Buddhism than just suffering.
In this video I explain how the Buddha taught the 4 Noble Truths to show us how we can move from a state of unrest to attaining an everlasting peace and happiness, known as nirvana or nibbana. But first, like any good physician, before prescribing the medicine, the Buddha had to diagnose our problems and show us why we feel less than one hundred percent happy most of the time, and what we can do to fix this.

A man once said to The Buddha :
"I WANT HAPPINESS"
The Buddha replied :
" First, remove I. That's Ego(The Mind). Second, remove WANT. That's Craving(Desire). Then what you are left with HAPPINESS."

I saw this on Instagram 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Did the Buddha really said it ?
Wowwww
@@truth8307 there is no mention of this quote on dhammapada... we don't know... Buddha teaching is somewhat related to some extent to meanings mentioned by this quote
I've found the Buddhist beleifs, practices & honesty to be a refreshing guide to the human condition. On a personal note I kicked heroin through practicing the Buddhist guide. It's been my conviction since finding these truths to try & plant the seed when the opportunity presents itself. Cheers from Orlando

@Gary Fletcher absolutely! It was hard. Conversely, if you learn the path of meditation (it takes a lifetime) you will understand the emotional and behavior a bit more. The secret is if you want it, you will do it. Just as if you were dope sick. I genuinely hope you will trust and invest time in this useful tool. If i can help in any way I will. We need each other right now more than ever. Compassion and empathy are not part of the process of growing up in the West. So, even though I am in no way a qualified professional ( which is HIGHLY over rated in my opinion ) I will do what I can.

You are so brave and lucky at the same time. Salute and Sadhu.
Buddhism is not only for Buddhists. It is universal and relevant to all human beings those who really suffer. Though everyone suffers, none can realise as it is suffering .Buddha has enlightened us how to eradicate all roots of suffering. But every body is not wise to grasp it. You 've offered a great contribution
Please keep on elucidating further.
..Yes. And, it is not a religion!! even though in some cultures it appears as thus...but that was not the intention of the Buddha.
@@lmansur1000 I agree
This thing is highly out of context. Medical birth going against nature have made women miserable in childbirth but it is actually the first innate Catalyst for the enlightenment that these men are trying to compete with
You are right, buddhist is for everyone!
I've just started taking an interest in buddhism and came across this video whilst searching the internet for basic insights. What a lovely introduction that captured the essence beautifully and succinctly. Well worth watching.
For the past year or more my life has been drawn more and more to Buddhism. If this little planet is to survive, Buddhism will be one of the important answers to our questions.
I suggest to you, don't worry about the planet but more about your own soul, at least that's what I do for me.
Buddhism is mankind's greatest achievement.
Buddha did not rely on technology instead he chose to develop the mind so he can achieve things no other human being was unable to achieve!!
Don't believe in science either. Earth was center of the universe and now all universe is born with the single spark. and nothing before. That what science is. so narrow minded. There are things still science do not understand purely because it heavily rely on technology. In my opinion we are still premature species. . I believe he was telepathically connected with advance civilizations far beyond our reach. He encountered negative, Positive and Neutral beings which was described by ordinary people as Demons, Gods and lots of other names. "Brahma" is such name given to one particular species which described in Buddhist teachings . It even describe earth as fireball filled with lava. Buddha did not go to great detail because purpose of the Buddhism is not finding information about universe!!
Yes but it isn't finished.
revko lucionar Buddhism and Quantum mechanics are completely compatible. Both indicate that the universe has no beginning, it has always been here. Read what Einstein has to say on the subject. The big bang is an oscillation in our observable universe.
I don't like the way Buddhist monks are saying there was no creator God
Mark Osborn That's right, there is no creator. Ever meditate?
Every time I listen to videos on Buddhism, they just make sense. It is information applicable to someone's life today. It is observable (mostly) and is peaceful. I wish more Christians and Muslims would look into it more.
Christopher Lannon I'm from Thailand and was raised in Buddhism family but now I'm a Christian. Christianity makes way more sense to me. Buddhism knows half of what Christianity fully knows about life.
Henry Chaisritha In the Buddhist religion, you don't believe. You enlighten and find out for yourself. Being a Christian is having everything decided and you still suffer. How do you find this better?
Buddha is the teacher of human and Gods. Christianity can not be compare with Buddhism. Those who followed the Buddha path will soon be high saints of Buddhism and soon would reach a higher level in Buddhism and eliminated all evil in themselves and will not be reincarnated in the three paths of evil which are hell, animals, and devil realms, but will be born in the Pure Land of Buddhas or another word heaven of the Buddhist world.
yep. it is the only rational thing out there. Makes a lot of sense from an engineering and control point of view. Want or craving generates an error signal. Error signal may and often does cause people to try and get things or do things to get things, that they really don't need.
Henry your name really proves that you are from Thailand.
Dear Mindah - Lee Kumar
My name is Raymond Lai. I am a member of the University of Sydney Buddhist Society also known as Unibodhi.
I would like to say, thank you, to you, Mindah, for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family.
I hope you have a lovely and fun day, Mindah! =)
Kind Regards
Raymond Lai (Member of the Buddhist Family)
I think real wisdom can only give rise to compassion, irrespective of how that wisdom is acquired.
there is wisdom accompanied by compassion, and there is wisdom not accompanied by compassion.
compassion, may or may not be accompanied by wisdom in sense sphere consciousnesses, but is always accompanied by wisdom in sukhasahagata mahaggatajjhānas
Ms,Mindah,You have not only the knowledge and wisdom of the Buddha Dharma but also a certain peacefulness about you that comes in the bell like clarity of your voice. I know you have a affirmative wish to see the suffering of all sentient beings mitigated and in their joy you celebrate. May your bodhichitta aspirations be contagious to us all. @ Mani Oommen, as she explained that not all desire is bad. If your desire has a positive motivation to help others and rid this world of suffering from war, disease, depression and delusion then that is a noble desire.
Lord Buddha is greatest teacher. Namo Buddhaya.
I once experienced 100% happiness.
It came in a flash- I erupted into a fit of laughter and tears of joy. As the emotion settled in I became to realize that the source was slipping from me as a dream does when you try to recall the details.
I felt sadness and frustration that it had slipped away but the flash remained in faith and still today it gives me relief.

You're a Noble Person!
Hey guys forget Buddhism. Here is the *REAL* reality:
Jesus Christ died on a cross to save people from their sin, according to the bible. You and I broke God's law but Jesus paid our fine. Then Jesus rose from the dead, 3 days later, thus defeating death(Romans 5:8).
@iTheGeek It doesn't matter what I, or anyone else, thinks. The only thing that matters is Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
This has been extremely helpful. My own spiritual journey that I've only begun has lead me to buddhism. It makes sense and feels right. I look forward to my continued studies in this way of life. I thank you for the video. I plan to view your other videos.
This is my first exposure to Buddhism
Great video! So glad I found buddhism when I felt lost, only focused on myself and was always searching for happiness which made me more unhappy. I've been a terrible friend, girlfriend and daughter but, finally, thanks to buddhism and its teachings I think I will be on track again. :)
Did it work ?
Hope you succeed
Bianca, Please go slow, nothing is gained by trying to make up past time. your future starts now, I also tell myself.
I sought enlightenment/nirvana for many years but I never came to a state of equanimity. I still experience suffering and I am defeated. Now I just accept that life has suffering. I accept my times of suffering, of frustration, of happiness, of joy, of sorrow, and my times of pain. From my experience this is just how life is so I just accept it and no matter what I am experiencing I remind myself that this too shall pass. I try to take the middle path in every area of my life. I have given up the pursuit of enlightenment. I decided that this I idea I had of enlightenment, a state of continual bliss, was just another concept, I was chasing so I gave it up. Now all I am left with is the same old person that started seeking to begin with.
Hope you will embrace Buddhism which teaches the truth
You can check out Pure Land Buddhism - seeking rebirth to Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land and obtain enlightenment there :) Amituofo :)
this realization was enlightenment.
The path is the goal. Let go of expectations of a result 🙏
The four noble truth, it's universal. Thank you Mindah.
Thank you Mindah-Lee Kumar. That was a superb presentation. I learnt the methodology of Theravada Buddhist Meditation in 1980. And I still use it to this day. But I still go to Church at Christmas and have a Christmas Tree, and keep a Buddha-Statue-Image in my front room. Christianity and Buddhism both teach of a God of Loving Kindness and Compassion so I have no problem with this amalgamation.
Very insightful. thank you. I think you are behaving in the same way you are preaching quietly and peacefully with an elegant sincere smile.
Simply and sincerely presented. Thank you. It does one good to return to Buddhist basics every now and then.
Thanks for your lovely feedback. :) Compassion arises from the wisdom we gain through meditation and from understanding the Buddhist teachings on impermanence, no-self, karma and suffering. Basically as our awareness increases, we see how our suffering and other’s suffering is created and this naturally gives rise to compassion in us. I spoke a little on compassion, related to the wisdom of letting go, in my last episode, but I’ll reference it more in the future and do a video by itself on it.:)
How do I get the E- book
Can you come to Vietnam and I will show you how to live like Buddha, how to enlight
You are an angel. Thank you so much for your videos.
Nice. very clear picture of the Buddha's teaching. I also read and recite the Buddha's lotus sutra.
I've been in a very stressfull mind recently and your video really saved my life. I've haven't felt depressed when I eliminate all my craves that I cant achieved :) thanks for the best video // sweden
Thank you Mindah; you are so kind to offer this service. I love Buddhism, but enjoy it on a personal level away from any formal Sangha. This is like a virtual Sangha.....
You have such a calming way of talking and explaining. I love listening to your voice. I noticed that I'm always craving to have a goal, regardless of what it is (work, learn a language, make money, move to another country, etc). I've been so stressed about achieving my goals for the past few months, and I did well to learn German, get accepted to a school, and start a new path/career for my life. I was expecting to feel so relaxed and happy once I finished, only to end up feeling like shit, because there was nothing more to want. So, I started doing online shopping, because it just seemed like an easy goal to accomplish. Then I get too many things, but it is somehow difficult to part with the things. I'm always trying to chase after something, and I derive too much joy from thinking about what I will be when I finish it. I need to work on letting go from material things and people I cannot truly own, and to only cling to knowledge. I hope one day to find enough fulfillment in the pursuit of knowledge and not be distracted by all these side cravings.
You are a western person, who have really understood real Buddhism, and you have made it a 'mission in life to share your enlightenment with others who are ignorant in this world, As a true Buddhist I appreciate your contribution in enlightening the ignorant in this world.
Just because she is Western doesn't make her any less Buddhist that you. Buddhism isn't a group of people. I think it's a path. That anyone can choose to follow.
Her region of birth or living doesn't make her any less of a Buddhist.

What a very informative video. Thank you for this lesson. I've been practicing Zen Buddhist meditation for six years, reading about Buddhism for 18 years, and I always enjoy coming back to the root of the Buddha's teaching -- the Four Noble Truths.
The Buddha Said,, (5 status)
1."Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.”
2.“Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?”
3.“Help the world to become better. Don't leave the world just the same as you have found it - make it a little better, make it a little more beautiful.”
4.“Life is very simple. Just sometimes put your head away, sometimes behead yourself, sometimes look with no clouds in the eyes - just look. Sometimes sit by the side of a tree - just feel. By the side of a waterfall - listen. Lie down on the beach and listen to the roar of the ocean, feel the sand, the coolness of it, or look at the stars, and let that silence penetrate you. Or look at the dark night and let that velvety darkness surround you, envelop you, dissolve you. This is the way of the simple heart.” Who is a bad man and who is a good man? What is the definition? The bad man is one who is inconsiderate of others. The bad man is one who uses others and has no respect for others. The bad man is one who thinks he is the center of the world and everybody is just to be used. Everything exists for him. The bad man is one who thinks that other persons are just means for his gratification.
5.“People remember the spiritual path only when nothing else seems to help. In deep hopelessness they remember. But it is only when you are full of hope, radiant, vibrating; when there is meaning in your life, when you feel the hands of destiny in your life, when you are riding on waves, when you feel at the top of the world - those are the moments to remember, to move towards the way.”
Samith Abeygunasekara you are right. theruwan saranai....
Samith Abeygunasekara Thanks for sharing these :-)
What buddhist text is this from? The pali canon? The lotus sutra? Dhammapada? Flower garland sutra?
I love this, thank you for helping a struggling college student understand Buddhism.
Hello, As I get older I see that Buddha's teachings have all the logical answers for me. I now see Re-Incarnation as a way for my soul to keep on learning about everything. I have made some progress so far. I'm eager to learn more in the time I have left in this "re-incarnation" thank you
I think that "Minimalism" is a good philosophy to develop when you are trying to diminish your cravings....Cheers.
Thank you so much for explaining Buddha's teachings so well :) Yours are the best videos on the subject on TH-cam! :D
Read also, Buddhist books as Tripitaka, Pali canon, or Buddhist cosmology samsara..
I have been searching for fundamental teachings delivered in a straightforward practical way that my sons (age 12 & 14) can comprehend and (be willing to) absorb in short sessions...
finally I have found our teacher. Mindah-Lee Kumar thank you so much.
Your unassuming manner and matter-of-fact delivery are perfect for western youth and adults alike. बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद
I listen to a lot of Buddhist talks and these are really refreshing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for making this video! Please keep teaching!
Quite amazing Mindah-Lee. You've shined a simple, plain-text light on things that seem obscure (to many in the U.S.). Thank you very much for these videos.
Vital explanation. In order to minimizing 'suffer, the Buddhist teaching can be applicable for any one, under any circumstances. thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for inspiring us buddhists around the world!
You don't know how badly I needed this vid right now. Even being an atheist I find this so comforting, though I suppose that sounds pretty strange. For what it's worth, thank you.
Sequentially Cowmpact
Not strange at all, since buddhism is not a religion. I have this book called Buddhism Without Beliefs by Stephen Batchelor that talks about this.
You can be an atheist without rejecting Buddha's teachings. They're about different things. As mentioned to Keisha: Please don't call Buddhism a "religion", since it is not concerned with God. A person can be a Christian, Muslim, or Jew and still go to Buddhist services to meditate and hear useful teachings. However, nobody can be in 2 faith-based "God" religions at the same time
I don't see Buddhism as a religion but rather a philosophy. I follow Buddhism and don't believe in god. Thank you to Mindah for the beautiful way to explain it. I just subscribed.
Wow bhuddism helped me and I am muslim
Hello Mindah. I enjoy your videos more than any others that I have seen. I wish there were more.
Thank you for posting this. I am one week post open heart surgery and have been hard driven for most of my life. I am 52 and have achieved many successes; beautiful family and homes and "things"and still I am never satisfied. I seek an inner peace that I have never had. My open heart surgery is a "reset" moment for me and I am very interested in the teachings of Buddha and the healing and life balance powers of mediation. I will continue to follow your posts.
Thanks Mindah...Really great work.
The real suffer is ,this never ends until you become enlightened .
Sadhu sadhu sadhu..... Bless you all..... Brilliant VDO...
New year not making yourselves suffering, not making any boby suffering, not making any beings suffering in any moments that is ethic that Buddha has been teaching us
Thank you. This was presented in a very clear fashion for a novice like myself. I am very grateful for the impact it seems to be making in my life already.
Great video on the Four Noble Truths! I was writing a paper on the Four Noble Truths and your video helped me. Your video also inspired me to continuing learning more about Buddhism.

I learned many years ago that desire is the cause of all suffering. I believed it then and I believe it now. I had a good teacher.
great video, really helped me to understand the fundamentals of Buddhism
very nicely explained..
Well done really well explained. I’m 76 and am not suffering with age, one thing I’ve learnt is age has taught me is I can now be the person I always should have been, despite a few more aches and pains. I really am not dissatisfied with anything much. I live in the now. All the craving you talk about is in the Maya.
Gary, at 82 + I feel much the same, learning and understanding is my main goal
Excellent! It is as if one has shone a light into the darkness so that those with eyes may see. Thank you sister!
Hello Mindah, i have been really researching and learning about Buddhism a lot recently and have been really wanting to become a follower of Buddhism now and have also been watching a lot of your videos recently and love them all! I was wondering if you could make a video explaining the different variations and types of Buddhism because seeing all the different branches can confuse me from time to time and also I would love to know more about chants and mantras and there meanings. :)
...do not follow Buddhism. Buddhism is a philosophy, not a religion. Your tutor does not walk in front of you, or "above", or behind, or "below" you. You do not need to follow anyone because no one is telling you where to step next. Your tutor is walking right next to you - because he is the same as you, only he sees things from a different perspective, therefore he can help you change your aspect on things for the better. So, respect, trust, and listen, and be humble - but do not follow, there's no one you could follow here. Following is for those who don't understand the basics of Buddhism anyway: that is everyone is only responsible and fully responsible for their own actions, thoughts and speech. So just listen and observe and you will grow.
LitBambi .....My name is Pad .... I also spend a lot a lot of time to study.... What ist Buddhism and how to be A Buddies. till I have found the real Of Buddha Teaching. It call Buddhawajana ....wajana = words of Buddha.
It ist very important to study and to fallow Buddha Word ... and Buddha is only One Teacher who never speak anything wrong every words he had spoken it truth.... no one in this world can do this ....therefor it ist so so important to learn his words and you will get every answer from every question .... if we talk about Buddhism it mean only his teachings.....

I grow up with a Christian education, and I still believe in the Love of God.
Im young and Ive been trying to know more about other religions and faiths. Buddhism says a lot to me and has help me a lot.
dealing with death of the people i love has been my biggest challenge in the last 3years, and love and kindness had hold my back. im far for being good, but i genuinely try.
thank you so much for your wisdom and for being so clear in this video, somehow you have a light and you transmited me good energy. love is always the anwer 💚
Something tells me that you truly are not a Christian. You need help from your church with your questions. Don't go to another faith to find them. You are walking on eggs if you do. Please speak to a Christian believer, not on You Tube.
@@sylviakoziarski4912 why do you want to force Christianity on him, he should seek what he has comfort with
This person grew up a Christian and needs counselling. I'm not going to send her to another faith for answers. As all roads do not lead to Rome all faiths can't be right. Jesus warned that HE IS THE ONLY WAY! So many people are going to hell because they will not heed that warning. Just believing in him and doing good, is not enough you need to repent.
@@sylviakoziarski4912 my religion says the same thing as well, I'm too confused with religions now and I decided to leave them all behind :(
ahr vlogs Good for you. Budisum is not a religion. People like Silvia are brainwashed. They're unrelenting belief is the reason for more suffering in this world than just about anything else.
thanks Sist for your sacrifice your times to educate people theough internet online
Nicely put, I wish all Buddhists woul remember the basis of the teachings.
A powerful Dharma talk.
-Sutra of the Lion’s Roar.
.......The Buddha spoke, “Community, the Way of Enlightenment can tear down the walls of ignorance, just as light can disperse the shadows. The Four Noble Truths, Impermanence, Non-self, Dependent Co-arising, the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, the Seven Factors of Awakening, the Three Gates, and the Noble Eightfold Path have all been proclaimed to the world like a lion’s roar, dispelling countless false doctrines and narrow
--The lion is king of the beasts. When he leaves his den, he stretches and gazes out over all the directions. Before seeking his prey, he lets forth a mighty roar that causes the other creatures to tremble and flee.
- Birds fly high, crocodiles dive beneath the water, foxes slip into their holes. Even village elephants, decked in fancy belts and ornaments and shaded by golden parasols, run away at the sound of that roar.
-Community, the proclamation of the Way of Enlightenment is like that lion’s roar! …..False doctrines fear and tremble. When Impermanence, Non-self, and Dependent Co-arising are proclaimed, all those who have long sought false security in ignorance and forgetfulness must awaken, celestial beings as well as human beings. When a person sees the dazzling truth, he exclaims, ‘We embraced dangerous views for so long, taking the impermanent to be permanent, and believing in the existence of a separate self. We took suffering to be pleasure and look at the temporary as if it were eternal. We mistook the false for the true. Now the time has come to tear down all the walls of forgetfulness and false views.’
-Community, the Way of Enlightenment allows humanity to remove the thick veil of false views.
-When an enlightened person appears, the Way echoes like the majestic sound of the rising tide. When the tide rises, all false views are swept away. -Community, people are easily caught by four traps. The first is attachment to sensual desires. The second is attachment to narrow views. The third is doubt and suspicion. The fourth is false view of self.
-The Way of Enlightenment helps people overcome the four great traps.
-Community, the teaching on dependent co-arising will enable you to overcome every obstacle and trap. Contemplate the nature of interdependence in your daily life-in your body, feelings, mind, and objects of mind.”
-The next day in the main hall, Ananda repeated the Buddha’s Dharma talk. He named it Sutra of the Lion’s Roar.

great..so happy to see some one speaking about buddhas teaching..
Thank you very much for explaining about The Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path with very clearly. ....... From Bangladesh.
Thank you. Am just starting to live in Thailand, and hearing a simple (and really practical) summary of the 4 noble truths was very helpful -- for a lesson in the basics of Buddhism, which seem to be the values that permeate the culture where I now am.
I love to listen to your thesis in detail. your presentation is perfect. it is hard to root out all of the Dukkha and Samudaya or the cause of suffering. I had practiced many hours in a day, but just gaining physical and mental happiness; it hard to root out all of the sufferings.
Thank you helping me and all of us.
Sadhu: Well spoken.
Im taking humanities 10 for college and you explain buddhism really well and very clearly although I am catholic. I really like how you explain your religion.
I wish I could have discovered your channel earlier... But I'm so ever glad to discover it now! Thank you for your videos, they are wonderful and your explanations are easy to follow and understand. Greetings from Indonesia! :)
You are a beautiful flower Mindah-Lee Kumar and a true joy to behold.
I'm not a Buddhist myself, but I'm writing an essay on the Noble Truths for University. This has helped a lot, thank you :)
Josh Newell everyone is a Buddha..
Josh Newell I felt she discussed the first 3 Noble Truths way too much. I think she could have made her point just as effectively in a 10 minute video. I can watch her video easily because she's drop dead beautiful, but it would have been nice if she was a bit more TH-cam friendly and made a shorter video.
+mahadragon Hello. Isn't the 4th Noble Truth about the Noble 8 Fold Path, and isn't one of those 8 things about Right Speech?
What was wrong with my speech? I was stating an opinion and frustration. Is that a crime?
there are 4 noble truth . 1 life is full of suffering.2 suffering comes from desire and wants.3suffering stops whenever the desire and wants stop. 4 in order to stop these disire and wants please follow the eightfold path . right view right intention right speech right action right livelihood right effort right mindfulness right concentration.
Thank you very much ,you are beautiful
Thank.^^ I am Thai and Theravada Buddhism
This clip looks alike Theravada Buddhism?
(I know a little about Mahayana then I know a little different)
English word about technically term in Buddhism is new for me.
And also hard to find reference from Tripitaka as English to explain and comment
(Mannually translate from Thai make some Trouble -..-)
i am also a theravada buddhist from sri lanka. yes, it looks like early Buddhism
I am from Himalayan region of Ladakh India I’m follower of Mahayana Buddhism
Oh your so nice...I was craving for a summary like this! Thank you!
The message(s) you espouse, as well as your voice is soothing. Blessed be.
From "The heart of the Buddha's teaching", Thich Nhat Hanh
Four Noble Truths.
After realizing complete, perfect awakening (samyak sambodhi), the Buddha had to find words to share his insight. He already had the water, but he had to discover jars like the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path to hold it. The Four Noble Truths are the cream of the Buddha's teaching. The Buddha continued to proclaim these truths right up until his Great Passing Away (mahaparinirvana).
The Chinese translate Four Noble Truths as "Four Wonderful Truths" or "Four Holy Truths." Our suffering is holy if we embrace it and look deeply into it. If we don't, it isn't holy at all. We just drown in the ocean of our suffering. For "truth," the Chinese use the characters for "word" and "king." No one can argue with the words of a king. These Four Truths are not something to argue about. They are something to practice and realize.
The First Noble Truth is suffering (dukkha). The root meaning of the Chinese character for suffering is "bitter." Happiness is sweet; suffering is bitter. We all suffer to some extent. We have some malaise in our body and our mind. We have to recognize and acknowledge the presence of this suffering and touch it. To do so, we may need the help of a teacher and a Sangha, friends in the practice.
The Second Noble Truth is the origin, roots, nature, creation, or arising (samudaya) of suffering. After we touch our suffering, we need to look deeply into it to see how it came to be. We need to recognize and identify the spiritual and material foods we have ingested that are causing us to suffer.
The Third Noble Truth is the cessation (nirodha) of creating suffering by refraining from doing the things that make us suffer. This is good news! The Buddha did not deny the existence of suffering, but he also did not deny the existence of joy and happiness. If you think that Buddhism says, "Everything is suffering and we cannot do anything about it," that is the opposite of the Buddha's message. The Buddha taught us how to recognize and acknowledge the presence of suffering, but he also taught the cessation of suffering. If there were no possibility of cessation, what is the use of practicing? The Third Truth is that healing is possible.
The Fourth Noble Truth is the path (marga) that leads to refraining from doing the things that cause us to suffer. This is the path we need the most. The Buddha called it the Noble Eightfold Path. The Chinese translate it as the "Path of Eight Right Practices": Right View, Right Thinking, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Diligence, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration.
I have a question so is buddhism kinda like Aethism? Since believing in god will not help us be enlightened. So I guess buddhism is like Aethism but has more morals and goals?
There is no creator God.
The Buddha teaches us how to use human intelligence to solve our insecurity of human existence! Buddha means "Awaken" free yourself from the bondage of your emotions and Awaken from your dream of existence.
@@vtecpreludevtec You are wrong about that.
Buddha said there is no creater. All impermanent phenomenon are formed with the help of its own cause. So the origin of all this phenomenons are beginning less. Every individual animals and human have equal seed to become like Buddha. So anyone can become Buddha at anytime by practicing path shown by great Buddha..
Buddhism is the middle way between nihilism and eternalim. It is spiritual but not belief based, neither it is nihilist or materialist. 🙏
Every time that I see this video it inspires me to continue on the path of Buddhism. It's very well explained about the four noble truths. Detailed simple and profound way. Thank you and this life will give you a great happiness
absolutely true.. well done. well done.. well done.
Buddha was born in Nepal not in India,those people who are in my side plz comment and like
+Magar Thapa Thaman +Magar Thapa Thaman yes bro,, buddha was born in nepal ,, but the buddhhas teaching is for the whole world ,we cant keep buddha for ourselves only,,,we nepalese should always honor buddhas teaching and try to spread more love than hate ,,,om mane padme hum...
Magar Thapa Thaman Buddha born in bodh gaya.Siddhartha Gautama born in lumbini.
I don't think it is important where THE Buddha was born, because the word Buddha only means "The enlightened one" - a being who knows what the reality is. So, there have been so many Buddhas throughout history, that anyone can have one born in their own country - luckily enlightenment is something anyone can experience at any moment. The point is that if you are enlightened, you can stay enlightened - and that would mean you are free from creating a world around you you can exist in as a human...See, it's totally unimportant which place an enlightened being chooses to be born at.
I dont understand how cravings or desires are evil.Without cravings or desires there is no purpose in living.In reality cravings like to get a better job,to live a better life,to spend more time with family,to help others are all good.
Without desires you will be a person without dreams.
Still cannt understand why Buddha told like that.
*****
Even craving to help others or doing "good" will lead us to suffering. All things in moderation is a simpler way to translate what Buddha meant about "cravings". The Middle Way neither into the extreme of piousness nor into the complacent.
To make things simple, just to think of "Wanting" of any kinds, for good or bad intention, is already the attachment of that thoughts of craving and desire and would lead to suffering in certain degree. And that's why Buddha got sick and tired of these suffering by reaching the state of "Nirvana" , the final frontier of "No Beginning, no End". For normal beings like us, definitely we just can't do it to be at that state like him, but we can reduce this suffering in our daily lives by his teaching of those 4 noble truths. This is my understanding!
Not all desire is bad. If your desire has a positive motivation to help others and rid this world of suffering from war, disease, depression and delusion that is a noble desire. Further,what the Buddha was teaching was true happiness which is enlightened and everlasting and not dependent on circumstances and different from pleasure. When you have the courage to renounce your fondest memories and your most cherished dream, you will learn to live in the present moment and then you will have a glimpse of this new flow of contentment and compassion.
He is sicken of walking the endless path, the path of craving, suffering and all that so he must be the path himself to end everything by being the awakening one, reach the ultimate enlightens as a Buddha and definitely he's not a deceiver. His teaching is nothing but the truth about the reality of lives and the consequences and so forth such as the "4 noble truths and the 8 unfolded path". It takes a very common sense to understand it and any humans can't perceive it then it gotta be the "ignorancy" of those beings period. Buddha didn't teach anyone of faith on him or claimed he's the God, but just a mentor that guide people the right path to peace and happiness.
So I guess no one in this world has a good life if they dont have that great job and that great house etc etc?? WOW dude wake up to reality if these are the things that are your center You are watching the wrong videos!! A better life is one without suffering this is what we work for as we follow the Buddha You may need to re-define some words in your vocab Like ""good life"" and ""happiness"" These arent found through cravings because cravings are never ending Even Trump has yet to call up all of his businesses and say "Hey guys stop sending me money and were not expanding this year.....I got enough thanks !""
Deep appreciation and blessings to you for this offering!

Mindah - Delightful. Thank you. My best guru's are my 7 year old twin daughters who have this wonderful spark and teach me so much how to let go and be in the moment. The same spark I see in them I see in you. Keep up the loving kindness and compassion. You shine.
Wow Mindah-Lee, thank you. It is helpful to hear this as gentle speech more than reading up again on the basics. Also, it is so easy and convenient to just play it again 😊
