(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) The Third Noble Truth is about the cessation of dukkha (unsatisfactoriness) and the realization of Nibbāna (awakening). Through inspiring stories of modern-day figures like Mae Chee Kaew and Dipa Ma, we see that awakening is possible in this very life.

The Four Noble Truths are the foundation of Buddhist philosophy, offering a profound understanding of suffering and its cessation. The First Truth acknowledges the existence of suffering in life. The Second identifies its cause as craving and attachment. The Third reveals the possibility of ending suffering through the cessation of craving. Finally, the Fourth Truth presents the Eightfold Path, a practical guide to achieving liberation. These truths provide a map to navigate life's challenges, cultivate inner peace, and ultimately attain enlightenment. This show will also include a three-minute guided meditation.   Living by the Third Noble Truth, recognizing the possibility of ending suffering, brings immense hope and liberation. By understanding that suffering can cease through the cessation of craving and attachment, we open ourselves to the potential for true inner peace and contentment.  This truth inspires us to actively cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom, transforming our relationship to experience and allowing us to live more fully in the present moment, free from the chains of desire and aversion.

In this episode, spiritual director John Bruna gives a teaching on the four attributes of the Third Noble Truth: true cessation. By using this model of understanding, John clarifies the meaning of Nirvana as complete freedom from all mental afflictions rather than temporary states of bliss and non-conceptuality achieved by concentration practices.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the Buddha's most influential teachings that has resonated through the ages - The Four Noble Truths. These four truths provide a framework for understanding the root of human suffering and the pathway to liberation.We begin by telling the iconic story of the Buddha's own journey - from a sheltered prince who knew none of the suffering in the world, to his confrontation with sickness, old age and death outside his palace walls. The trauma of these encounters motived Siddhartha Gautama to renounce his royal ties and seek understanding. After taking asceticism to its extremes then realizing enlightenment was not found there either, he meditated under the Bodhi tree and awakened.The Buddha realized that rather than the extremes of indulgence or deprivation, the middle way would lead to the end of suffering. This wisdom was encapsulated into the Four Noble Truths.The First Noble Truth declares that suffering exists and is part of our human experience due to impermanence and our fragile mortal nature. Our attempts to make things permanent actually causes more pain.The Second Noble Truth dives deeper - revealing that the root of suffering is attachment. Clinging to thoughts, ideas, identities and beliefs is what torments us when loss and change occurs.The Third Noble Truth offers hope - cessation of suffering IS possible by letting go of attachments. When we release our grip, we experience the blissful state of nirvana, which means “blowing out” like a candle.The Fourth Noble Truth maps out the Eightfold Path, the Buddha's recommended path to enlightenment. We also introduce an alternative framework called The Three Pillars of Liberation.Drinking from the wisdom of millennia, this profound teaching offers to liberate us in the midst of daily troubles that disrupt our peace. The Four Noble Truths diagnose the core human quandary, and prescribe a way out of unnecessary misery and into joy.Head over to http://LiberationCoachingAcademy.com to check out more about Zen Stoicism and learn about our trainings. 

What does the Third Noble Truth really promise when it speaks of "an end to dukkha?" Does it mean an end to unpleasant experiences? In this rich talk, Donald Rothberg shares that the end of dukkha actually means the cessation of our REACTIVITY to unpleasant experiences. He relates the analogy of "the second arrow" to our reactivity (both clinging and aversion) rather than the typical translation of "suffering." He introduces 10 guidelines for working with reactivity: Understand the nature of reactivity and how it becomes institutionalizedAssess your level of reactivity and determine an appropriate responseBe mindful of your patterns of reactivityExplore how you react to both pleasant and unpleasantDevelop a regular heart practice, such as loving-kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity, forgiveness, gratitude, and empathy Recognize the insight offered by our reactivity and transform it rather than strive to eliminate itLearn alternatives to reacting through mindfulnessBring conscious intention to our habitually reactive mindLook at the roots and history behind our reactive patternsLearn to develop non-reactive ways of speaking and acting ______________Donald Rothberg, Ph.D., a member of the Teachers Council at Spirit Rock Center, and a teacher at the East Bay Meditation Center, teaches retreats and groups on concentration and insight meditation practice, loving-kindness practice, transforming the judgmental mind, mindful communication, working skillfully with conflict, and socially engaged Buddhism. He has practiced insight meditation since 1976 and received training in Tibetan Dzogchen, body-based psychotherapy, and trauma work. He has helped guide many six-month to two-year training programs in socially engaged spirituality, both Buddhist-based and interfaith.

THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHSThe First Noble Truth: be aware that life brings with it many forms of dissatisfaction, frustration, irritation, and many levels of suffering.The Second Noble Truth: recognise that these different types of suffering are produced by your mind, even if the apparent cause is external. The mind reacts negatively to life experiences that we didn't want, and does the same when we don't get things we were hoping for. The Buddha called these wants and dislikes “thirsts”. It is thirsts that cause unhappy states of mind.The Third Noble Truth: we can learn to cultivate skills that stop our thirsts and thus end our various forms of suffering.The Fourth Noble Truth: to cultivate these skills we have to follow a path that contains eight components, as follows.Right Mindfulness: mindfulness is a three-pronged skill with regards to our state or frame of mind. Notice. Pause. Change. Although taught around the world today mindfulness is often misunderstood by its teachers and therefore also by its students, so it is important to learn mindfulness the way it was originally taught, that is, within the wider context we are summarising here. One could say that Right Mindfulness is the development of the ability to notice unhealthy thoughts and feelings, then shift the mind away from these to much wiser ones.Right Concentration or Focus: if mindfulness is taking the mind away from unhelpful states, then Right Concentration or Focus is its partner. We try to develop the ability to keep our mind on positive or useful states of mind or where we want our mind to be, rather than constantly being distracted, say by emails, passing moods, daydreams, etc. To find out more about our unique programme and how it can help you and your family business, please follow this link and download our brochure.

It is best thought of as skilful or wise.The four previous “paths”, covered in previous episodes, relate directly to how we live our lives - our thoughts and feelings, our communication with others, our decisions, and our working life. The next three are the methods or disciplines to use to ensure we do in fact learn to manage our wayward minds.Right Effort: changing our volatile, conditioned mind doesn't happen overnight. It took us our entire lifetime to date to become who we are today, so reversing and changing our mindset takes time. Therefore we need to work at it with effort. Again, the word right means skilful. Skilful effort means we don;'t slacken off or lapse, but nor do we exhaust ourselves in too zealous an effort.To find out more about our unique programme and how it can help you and your family business, please follow this link and download our brochure.

The Third Noble Truth describes the fundamental intention and goal of Buddhist principles and practices–the release from the bonds of craving and clinging–total and direct knowledge that there is no enduring, autonomous self.  This talk reviews how concentration–samadhi– and investigation–vipassana–lead to a progression of insights that are recognizable on the path towards Awakening. Here are […]

The Four Noble Truths of Buddha: In his first teaching after attaining liberation, the Buddha taught The Four Noble Truths:  the truth of suffering, the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering, and the truth of the path to liberation from suffering. The First Noble Truth recognizes the existence of suffering. We humans will do everything we can to resist or deny the existence of suffering.  Paradoxically, resisting or denying the existence of suffering only increases our suffering. Recognizing the existence of suffering, without additional thoughts or denial,  is the first step to letting go of the suffering that accompanies my chronic pain. The Second Noble Truth, the cause of suffering, is clinging to things – especially ourselves – as real and permanent.  My knee-jerk reaction when my pain flares up is self-pity.  My self-centered thoughts and negative judgments increase my suffering.  When I let go of my thoughts and focus instead on the direct experience of my pain, there is an immediate sense of relief and spaciousness. Focusing on the pain itself, rather than clinging to it as something unique to myself, leads to the cessation of suffering – The Third Noble Truth.   Working directly with the energy of physical pain has become my path out of the suffering that accompanies my pain. This path is related to the Fourth Noble Truth, the path to liberation from suffering. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bronwyn59/message

The term Saddhā is often translated as 'faith' but it is different from the 'blind faith' often associated with the word in the West. By exploring the 'Chunky Sutta' we gain an understanding that in the original Pali text, the meaning was closer to 'provisional trust' which is the opposite of skeptical doubt. In Buddhism, we are encouraged to rely upon our own experience and discernment with regard to our practice or finding a teacher. We try things out and, as we see the results, our trust then becomes faith - a belief that we will continue to reap the benefits we have experienced thus far. Over time, our insight can eventually become an unshakeable faith, the hallmark of 'stream entry' when there is no going back. He explores how faith can evolve from being one of the 5 Spiritual Faculties, to eventually become a power we possess (one of the 5 Spiritual Powers).  Danadasa also poses a question we can use to determine if we are 'enlightened': "Is it possible for me to be completely free of stress and anxiety at all times and under all conditions?" This is the promise of the Third Noble Truth, that complete cessation of stress and anxiety IS possible.______________ Dhammachari Danadasa has been practicing with the San Francisco Buddhist Center (SFBC) community since 1993 and was ordained in 2011. His current area of exploration is the cultivation of metta (universal loving kindness) as a response to all the hatred, discrimination, and bigotry in the world out there.  Support the show______________ To participate live and be notified of upcoming speakers in advance, please Like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/gaybuddhistfellowship) or visit https://gaybuddhist.org/calendar/ To support our efforts to share these talks with LGBTQIA audiences worldwide, please visit www.GayBuddhist.org.There you can: Donate Learn how to participate live Find our schedule of upcoming speakers Join our mailing list or discussion forum Enjoy many hundreds of these recorded talks dating back to 1996 CREDITSAudio Engineer: George HubbardProducer: Tom BrueinMusic/Logo/Artwork: Derek Lassiter

Ajahn Dhammasiha explains how to contemplate the Four Noble Truths ('Cattāri Ariyasaccāni') within the framework of Breath Meditation ('Ānāpāṇasati'): We start by mindfully observing, feeling and experiencing every inbreath and outbreath We allow our mind to gradually settle down, simply being mindful of each and every breath We mindfully observe when Craving ('Taṇhā') arises in our mind We notice that it is this very craving that causes our mind to get pulled away from our meditation object, the breath, and to follow all kinds of thoughts, phantasies, worries, memories, feelings, emotions... We wisely recognize how the mind loses it's calm and peace once it get's pulled away from the breath, and becomes agitated/worried/excited Agitation/Worry/Excitement is a form of 'Dukkha' ('Suffering', 'Disappointing', 'Unsatisfactory') We have now observed in our own immediate experience, here and now, how craving causes disappointment/suffering (= First and Second Noble Truth) We contemplate all these distractive thoughts, phantasies, worries, memories, feelings and emotions as impermanent ('anicca'). Often we can even directly observe them changing and becoming otherwise right here and now As we wisely recognize their impermanent, changing nature, our craving and attachment to them diminishes As craving and attachment become weaker, it's easier to stay attentive to the breath As we stay focussed on the breath, agitation and worry are replaced by joyful tranquillity This is a reduction of suffering, at least some aspects of dukkha have come to a (temporary) end We have now observed in our own immediate experience, here and now, how letting go of craving (at least partially) through contemplation of impermanence reduces our suffering (= Third Noble Truth, at least to some extend) Finally, Ajahn Dhammasiha indicates how all eight path factors of the Middle Way ('Majjimā Paṭipadā') are being activated as we meditate in the way discribed above (= Fourth Noble Truth) https://www.dhammagiri.net https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw https://tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive .

The Third Noble Truth says there is freedom from Dukkha.  We have experiences of this freedom often but don't often recognize them for what they are.  It's been said that “enlightenment is an accident and meditation makes us more accident prone”.  There is certainly some truth in this.  In this episode we look at Enlightenment from some different perspectives. Support the show

Dharma talk on "The Third Noble Truth- The End of Suffering" with InsightLA teacher, Cayce Howe. InsightLA Long Beach, Sunday Sit, March 20th, 2022.

The Third Noble Truth is Nibbana, which can be translated as removing from the fire. It is the extinguishing of that which has been burning us. When we hold on to things that are impermanent, when we cling, when we are self-centered we get burned. Nibbana is freedom, Nibbana is learning to live life on life's terms so that you can enjoy the human reality without making it worse/ When we reach Nibbana we are able to say - Right now it's like this and it's super unpleasant AND I am totally at ease with it.

This week I'm walking you through how you can practically implement the idea that is: There is nothing but perfection in the presentThis is my mantra for 2022 and has guided my intention for 2022 which is: Find and seek the perfection in the presentThis is a concept rooted in Buddhism and found in The Third Noble Truth (one of the 4 Noble Truths which summarise the main Buddhist Teachings). This concept can feel very abstract and we might struggle to see how this can apply to our day-to-day lives. I've been applying it concretely myself for the past few months and have been coaching my clients to do the same. The impact has been immense for them and both for myself, and this is what I'm sharing with you in this episode with concrete examples. Referenced in the episode: The Book: The Power of Now@vivitheyogi / 15x15 Meditation courseThe Four Noble TruthsPodcast episode on the 3 principles that shaped my 2022The Book: The Big Leap by Gay HendricksPodcast episode on Find Your Zone of GeniusPodcast episode on doing SOMETHING, anythingLet's connect online:Website: victoriasardain.comInstagram: @victoriasardainFacebook: Victoria Sardain Coaching

This episode provides a short overview of the Buddha's Third Noble Truth, that all of our suffering can be ended. And then I'll explore some of the hidden ironies this Noble Truth contains. For example, if our suffering can be ended by learning to let go of our attachments to the things in this world, it is easy to become attached to the practice of releasing our attachment...bringing us right back where we started. This is the third in a series of episodes about the Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bitesizewise/message

In this episode, Andrew speaks on the topic of Awakening. Far from the ever-elusive state of bliss that we often think of when we hear the words awakening, enlightenment or nirvana, the Buddha was very clear that awakening is an on-going process of stepping out of reactivity through engaging with the eightfold path. Awakening isn't a special or privileged state that is only achieved by superior meditators, it is instead the cooling down of reactivity that is the natural result of cultivating a simple and pragmatic path of ethical living, mindfulness, and wisdom.

The third Noble Truth presents the goal of Buddhist practice and the ultimate Buddhist belief: the mind is luminous and fully aware by nature, and when that's uncovered, we've finally cut the root of ignorance. We've woken up.

This episode continues with the Buddha's first teaching and a look at what nibanna, or the cessation of craving and difficulty actually look like in our lives. I guide 3 practices to help us connect with that feeling of freedom. The final practice is a reflection practice, which can also be done as writing prompts. Here are the prompts:-What is something you really wanted as a child that you don't want anymore?-What is a time where you got what you wanted and it made your life more complicated, created dukkha?-What is something you really wanted and when you got it, you realized it wasn't what you wanted?-When is a time you did not act on a craving, and afterwards knew that was the right decision?-Can you think of a time, or a place, where you felt contentment, no craving for anything, even if just for a second?

Today we look at a very practical application of the first 3 Noble Truths.  This is through the lens of Judson Brewer's model of shifting gears for understanding our stress inducing habits.

For the last episode of season 1 I explore the third noble truth, this truth of cessation and share ways we can experience small moments of liberation in our lives. I share quotes from Bhikkhu Bodhi, Rev. angel Kyodo williams and others.

In continuing our exploration of the 4 Noble Truths, we move on today to the 3rd Noble Truth-- there is a path out of our suffering.  Teacher Ajahn Sumedho says this about studying the 3rd Noble Truth: Do not feel as though you have to embrace any particular teacher’s interpretation of [the 3rd Noble Truth]. Instead, let it be an open question, a mystery, and live the question: what is possible in the way of freedom for me, right now, in this moment, just as I am.

Cessation, we hope,will happen in this lifetime.Wish you well with that!* * *This seems to contradict the line in the Heart Sutra that continues the long list of negative attributes that magically disappear in emptiness. Given emptiness, no suffering and no end of suffering, which seems internally contradictory. But the kind of suffering that can come to an end through acceding to this kind of wisdom is that of the self-inflicted and mutually-inflicted kind. In other words, unnecessary suffering. The kind that does not, indeed cannot, come to an end is that of the natural variety — aging, sickness and death.Whereas Buddhism’s teachings are not pessimistic, neither are they overly optimistic — they do not lead us down the primrose path wearing rose-colored glasses, to mix metaphors. We recognize that most of our suffering is not only the result of our inchoate craving, but also of our resistance to suffering itself. Not that we should all become martyrs to some cause, but that even the pain we feel in meditation is mostly the predictable outcome of our resistance to the sitting, on mental and emotional levels as well as physical. The latter will adapt with time, as the body stretches to accommodate the posture. The former will be of longer duration, and more likely to return again and again. The body is relatively flexible compared to the monkey mind.Dukkha guarantees that suffering will come to cessation, owing to the very change that is intrinsic to its definition. If you are dissatisfied with this present moment, not to worry, it will pass in a moment. Everything is changing moment-to-moment, if in a multifold of polyrhythms. Knowing this is not tantamount to experiencing it, however. This level of dynamic change can only be entered into by sitting as still as possible as long as possible.It will not do to imagine what this must be like, entering into the frontier of so-called nirvana. As one of my teachers reminds us, when you go to nirvana, there is nobody there. Only bodhisattvas can go there, and they choose to stay here, in samsara, in order to help all others to the other shore. So nirvana is empty, no immigration problem there.Our charge then becomes to transform this so-called samsara into nirvana. As Master Dogen is said to have asserted, actually we do not go to the other shore of nirvana. The other shore comes to us. We step onto the raft each time we sit on the cushion. Watch out for the waves.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

“Unshakable is the liberation of my mind” ~ Shakyamuni Buddha Description: Ongoing series on basic Buddhism. The Third Noble Truth concerns the cessation of suffering.

The Third Noble Truth of the Buddha: The Cure. Suffering can end, or as some prefer to frame it, suffering can be transformed. The healer or helper is concerned with the suffering of all beings, and the transformation or end of that suffering. Leaning into this truth can transform the life of any healer.

Joseph focuses on the freedom that comes with the Third Noble Truth, the cessation of dukkha, and how different methods of practice can help bring about the end of craving.

Ajahn Viradhammo conducts a question and answer session with the lay retreat crew. He talks about family, monasticism and vocation as three paths by which one can practice self surrender and Right Livelihood, and how this can develop understanding. He discusses the distinction between experiencing an object and experiencing the awareness that knows this object, and points out how what we are really searching for can be found only in this awareness through the realization of the Third Noble Truth. He explores the idea of indulgence in an experience and how to let go of this indulgence through the teaching on Dependent Origination.… Read the rest

Sangha member, Mikey Noechel, discusses the third noble truth, the task of beholding the ceasing of reactivity in our lives.

Ajahn Viradhammo reads a passage by Jean Klein, and explores the function of a contemplative mind in analyzing this passage.

June 14, 2013. 87-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh from the European Institute of Applied Buddhism in Waldbrol, Germany. The talk is given in English with consecutive translation into German. This is the third dharma talk of the German Retreat on the theme Are You Sure? Following two chants by the monastics, the talk begins at 16-minutes into the recording. One thing we can be sure of is that there is suffering in yourself and the world. From here, the Buddha built his practice and teaching. Nothing can be by itself alone, it must inter-be with something else. Suffering is the First Noble Truth. Dukkha is ill-being, but we must confirm its opposite as well. This is the Third Noble Truth - the existence of well-being. This way of thinking is the opposite of dualist of thinking and based on Interbeing. How do we explain interbeing? A further explanation of the Four Noble Truths along with a teaching on consumption in relationship to these Truths. In our community, it is the Fifth Mindfulness Training that shows a way out. Everything requires food. What are we feeding ourselves? According to the Buddha, there are Four Kinds of Nutriments.

December 31, 2012. 120-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh from Lower Hamlet at Plum Village in English. The sangha is in the 90-day Rains Retreat (Winter Retreat) and this is the special New Years Eve dharma talk (and the sixteenth dharma talk of the retreat with the theme Are You The Soulmate of the Buddha?). Dear friends, please smile. You are online. How do we go home? Home is in the hear and the now. It is the practice of healing. Every step is healing. Every breath is healing. Nirvana is available in the here and now. Nirvana is cooling down. Cooling the fire of fear, afflictions, and wrong views. This is the Third Noble Truth. We do not need to die in order to touch nirvana. Nirvana is a state of no heat. We use the noble eightfold path. How do see the path? We need our six sense organs and our mind to experience nirvana. The Five Mindfulness Trainings help us experience the path. Right View. Notions of being and non-being. Notions of birth and death. Right Mindfulness. This allows you to be fully alive. It is an art of living.

Dharma Talk: Noah Levine 10/24/2012

Dear Thay, Dear Sangha, Dear Virtual Community Today, we close our Three Month Winter Retreat and our Moment by moment class.  The Third Noble Truth--the end of suffering is discussed by our teachers.  We are encouraged to look into our suffering and to be aware of what is real and how much we create in our own mind.  What is our real experience and what is suffering because that is what we label it?  We are reminded that the path is not a straight line and our view of our suffering can change depending where we are on the path. We are reminded that we are not just one thing, we are many things.  We can look deeply to see where we have a skillful relationship with our suffering and where we have a not-yet-skillful relationship. As our monastics recite, 'when a monk goes into the world, he looks straight ahead and walks mindfullly'.  May we all cultivate the ability to stay compassionately on the path--walking with mindfulness and concentration.  In this way, we offer our beauty, presence, and practice each other.  Our practice is not a conceptual exercise, it is one to be lived in real life, moment by moment, each and every day.  Our teachers ask, does anything really end?  With Right View we see there is no beginning and no end.  Our course has ended, but it has also just begun as the 3,000 practitioners in 40 countries who are following the course walk mindfully into the world.  We bow in gratittude to all of you and to our wonderful teachers who show us the way in this life.  Find your path. Enjoy your step. Enjoy your breath. Treasure your life.
