Understanding the Four Noble Truths: A Path to Freedom and Peace The First Noble Truth: Life Contains Suffering (Dukkha)  The first truth is simple: life contains suffering. The Buddha used the word *dukkha*, which is often translated as suffering, but it also means unease, dissatisfaction, or stress.   "The First Noble Truth is not meant to depress us but to awaken us to the reality of our lives so that we can start to live more fully." -Jack Kornfield The Second Noble Truth: The Cause of Suffering (Tanha) The second truth goes deeper. It says suffering arises from *tanha*, often translated as craving or clinging. It's that feeling of “I need this” or “I need things to be different.”  "Craving is the force that drives our discontent. It's not the external world that binds us but the way we cling to it."  -Joseph Goldstein   "The Four Noble Truths point us to the possibility of being fully present with our suffering in a way that transforms it, rather than letting it control us." -Sharon Salzberg The Third Noble Truth: The End of Suffering Now, here's the good news. The third truth tells us that suffering can end. There is a way to step off the treadmill of craving and dissatisfaction.   The Buddha called this "nirvana", but don't think of it as some mystical state far away. It's simply freedom—a mind at ease, not caught up in endless wanting. The Fourth Noble Truth: The Path to the End of Suffering The final truth is the *how.* It's called the Eightfold Path—a practical guide for living with more wisdom, kindness, and mindfulness. Think of it as eight steps, like right speech (speaking truthfully and kindly) or right mindfulness (being present in the moment).   These steps aren't rules—they're tools. They help us live in a way that reduces suffering for ourselves and others.   In a world that often feels chaotic, the Four Noble Truths give us clarity. They remind us that it's not about fixing the world but understanding our relationship with it. By seeing where we cling or resist, we can begin to let go.    The Four Noble Truths aren't abstract ideas—they're invitations to look at your own life.   "These teachings are not about becoming someone different. They're about being fully human, with all the beauty and pain that entails."  -Jack Kornfield "The Four Noble Truths are universal. They speak to everyone who has ever felt joy or sorrow, love or loss."   -Joseph Goldstein "These teachings show us that we can meet our struggles with mindfulness and compassion, and in doing so, we can transform our lives."   -Sharon Salzberg Want to Read all About this?

In this podcast episode, David shared his harrowing near-death experience where a life vest meant to save him nearly drowned him during a violent sea storm. David described his journey into a peaceful darkness, encountering fragments of light that welcomed him as family. He recounted reliving his life during this experience, a life review where he felt the emotions of everyone he ever interacted with. Commanded by a higher entity to return to life for a purpose, David eventually found himself back in his broken body. David revisited his spiritual journey, including how Native American spirituality impacted his turbulent childhood and his life-saving confrontation with stage four lung and bone cancer. He emphasized the importance of acceptance, tolerance, inner truth, and connecting with one's spiritual essence. David also discussed his role as a spiritual healer and the significance of contemplation and mindful living. This episode provides profound insights into the interconnectedness of life, death, and spiritual awakening.

Xem trên Youtube: https://youtu.be/HFjupVueUgA 04 - Con đường bao dung. The path of mindful-kindness. Sự bao dung (mindful-kindness) là khả năng có mặt với những gì xảy ra mà không phê phán. Tình thương là một tâm mát mẻ có một năng lượng chữa lành rất lớn. Trong sự bao dung có một thái độ rộng mở, chấp nhận và tha thứ, ngay cả những phiền não của chính mình. Đôi khi trong những hoàn cảnh khó khăn, tình thương và sự cảm thông lại có cơ hội được phát huy. Chỉ cần ta biết mở lòng ra, bớt ôm chặt quá khứ, với một tâm chánh niệm tỉnh giác. Tuệ giác được biểu hiện bằng lòng nhân từ đối với mình và tất cả.  

Xem trên Youtube: https://youtu.be/rK2EQF-yTn4 01 - Con đường chữa lành. The Path of healing. Trong ta có một năng lượng chữa lành tự nhiên, đó là tiến trình chuyển hóa cả một đời người, và cũng không phải đơn giản sẽ là một con đường thẳng. Chữa lành không phải là sửa lại những gì hư hỏng, mà là khôi phục lại những gì đã và đang là toàn vẹn trong ta. Chữa lành là một tiến trình xảy ra tự nhiên khi ta phát huy năng lượng của tỉnh giác (investigation), bao dung (mindful-kindness), và nhất là biết chân thật với chính mình (self-honesty).

Xem trên Youtube: https://youtu.be/QDaa8MMnPa8 02 - Con đường khám phá. The path of Investigation. Tỉnh giác là khám phá lại chính mình, chứ không phải đi tìm hiểu một đối tượng hay một thực tại xa xôi nào đó. Khi ta có thể quan sát những vướng mắc trong ta, với một tâm rộng mở, biết lắng nghe, nó sẽ giúp ta thấy ra được những nguyên nhân của phiền não. Khám phá này giúp ta tiếp xúc lại được với một bản chất trong sáng và an ổn sẳn có. Với chánh niệm và tỉnh giác ta sẽ hiểu rằng mọi sự việc đều biểu hiện theo sự vận hành tự nhiên. Ta nên thấy ra hơn là can thiệp.

Xem trên Youtube: https://youtu.be/EdmALBHHWA4 03 - Con đường chân thật. The path of self-honesty. Con đường chữa lành đòi hỏi một sự chân thật với chính mình. Ta không phải chỉ dính mắc vào hạnh phúc, mà còn là vào chính khổ đau của mình nữa. Nếu như ta không thấy ra những dính mắc, ghét bỏ ấy thì ta không thể nào thật sự chuyển hóa được. Cũng như một chiếc bè muốn đi qua bờ bên kia, thì ta phải biết mở dây cột vào bến. Đó là một thái độ thành thật với mình. Đôi khi những khó khăn, phiền não trong cuộc sống lại giúp ta thấy rõ thực tại, và sống thật với mình hơn.

I interview Marcus of the podcast Return of the Repressed about his journey, partially with reference to Dōgen's Treasury of the True Dharma Eye (Japan, 13th c.) and the Record of Linji (China, 9th c.), and featuring a song from the noh play “Xiwangmu,” or the Queen Mother of the West.On the Feast of Winding Water, block the flow with your hand and watch the water wind around, and isn't this cup making even the flowers tipsy? Isn't this cup making even the flowers tipsy? The sleeves and fringed hems of lovely maidens that sport and play in the waters of the great River flow out to the side like clouds off a mountaintop. And as the flowers and the birds of the clouds become one with the winds of Spring, we are transported to the cloud-road and on it we climb up and up, accompanied by the Queen Mother herself. Shall we rise on the road of heaven, accompanied by the Queen Mother herself, and away we go, we know not where?On Yōmeishu: https://www.yomeishu.my/power_of_herbal/On Tōtōshu: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%99%B6%E9%99%B6%E9%85%92 Hosted on Acast.

This is a recording of a dharma talk Lisa Dale Miller gave March 19, 2003 at Marin Sangha. Recently neuroscientist Richard Davidson reiterated a long-held tenet of Tibetan Buddhism that all human beings share the same wish to be happy and free of suffering, and that this wish emerges from innate basic goodness. This goodness is often viewed in Mahāyāna and Vajrayana Buddhism as an expression of Buddhanature, the fundamental awakened mind of all beings. There is not much in the Pāli Canon to support the notion of innate goodness. However, the Buddha did teach unconditioned mind—a mind purified through contemplative effort, not an innately awakened mind. This dharma talk compares these two frameworks and explores the cultivation of ethical goodness using specific suttas and findings from affective neuroscience. And I am joined by a co-teacher ChatGPT, which explicates historical references to goodness and investigates its own sense of how to engage in ethical conduct. Lisa's catalogue of Dharma Talks can be found on the Groundless Ground and those done prior to 2020 are available on my clinical website.

Here is a refreshing and direct expression of something many of us make into a very complicated and abstruse issue. Bankei brought Zen to ordinary, everyday people along with the monks and nuns that he taught.

Seeing others suffering is painful. Learn to practice both compassion and self-soothing in this guided meditation led by Anushka Fernandopulle. How to Do This Practice: Find somewhere peaceful, sit down and get comfortable. Once you're ready, gently close your eyes. Start taking deep breaths and relax your body. Part by part, release tension in different areas of your body. Think of someone or a group of people you know or have heard of who may be having a hard time. Bring to mind an image of them. Connect with whatever it is they are struggling with. Mentally, make some wishes of compassion for them. For example, “May you be free from pain.” Or, “I am here with you.” You can also use this practice to focus on your own pain.

The Serene Reflections Podcast is a series of Dharma Talks from the Wallowa Buddhist Temple in the mountains of Northeast Oregon in the United States. Reverend Clairissa Beattie, a Zen Buddhist monk and priest, invites you to join in listening from your own place of stillness, from the Heart That Seeks the Way.Each talk lasts about half an hour or less. Settling down to hear these clear and quiet teachings through the gateway of the ear may serve as a general introduction to Chan or Zen Buddhist practice within your inquiry into Mahayana Buddhism, or as a supportive adjunct to your own unfolding spiritual work.These gentle, introspective recordings flow from one monk's personal reflections on the myriad facets of Zen practice. Episodes of the Serene Reflections Podcast are prepared with the help of the monks and congregation of the Wallowa Buddhist Temple, offered throughout the seasons for the benefit of all beings, including you, wherever you may be.

Our Dharma Talks this time will feature Rev. Kokuu and Rev. Jinkan, presenting their first Teachings upon and in celebration of their Dharma Transmission in our Lineage. Other Talks will feature our newest ordained priests, Koushi, Onkai and Nengei, as their "debut" offering of a Talk to our Sangha. Readings for Talks are based on passages from Menzan Zuiho Osho's Jijuyu Zanmai (自受用三昧 - "The Self-Receiving-Employing Samadhi") Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum: TREELEAF SANGHA online 2-DAY ANGO-JUKAI-ROHATSU RETREAT -- 2022 »
