Four Noble Truths

This is good stuff!!! For all to know, for me to know; most importantly, as a guide to live our lives by. I write these out for a specific purpose but wish to share them with all, eventually, in a typical Catholic manner. We'll see about that. In the mean time, it is my wish that all who read these take what they can and apply it to the way they live their life. Not to Ambitious?! I still need to dig deeper into the meaning and purpose behind The Four Noble Truths.

  1. "Suffering" Exists
  2. "Suffering" Comes about, arises
  3. "Suffering" Can end, cease, ushering forth Nirvana
  4. Eight-Fold Noble Path as Tools to practice in order to realize Nirvana
  • Right View
  • Right Intention
  • Right Speech
  • Right Action
  • Right Livelihood
  • Right Effort
  • Right Mindfulness
  • Right Concentration/Meditation

Very Cool Stuff!!! I still need to learn, contemplate, be, and accept the way of things, whatever that may be. Yet the above is helpful in many things and I simply wanted to type it out for the benefit of all who may come across it.

Cheers and Happy. Happy; Joy, Joy to all. And in case I don't see ya, Good morning, Good Afternoon, and Good night.
