No 157 of Living Life Series 1
The Four Noble Truths
can be presented in simplest version
1) pain from problems in life
2) cause – doing bad
3) deliverance from pain in life possible
4) solution = do good and purify the mind
(Footnote:
Evil or Bad = thoughts actions and deeds rooted in ego i.e. ignorance i.e. the three evil roots of greed hatred and delusion or false views
Good = thoughts words and deeds based on selflessness, goodwill and right views
Pure = not even doing good for rewards or recognition i.e. not motivated for ego rewards)
The Four Noble Truths thus equal
Do good
Avoid evil
Purify the mind
This is the teaching
of all Buddhas
