four noble truths

Back 21

All things are suffering (“all this is trouble”)
• Suffering arises from our minds – our perception of an individuated (object) universe – and our resulting desires, our attachments to that which is impermanent
• Suffering ceases when our minds stop creating it – when we reverse the stages of mental formation that create the sense of “I” (consciousness of the self as independent of others), suffering ceases
• It is possible to be free from suffering -- the practice for resolving trouble is the 8-Fold Path
