Patrick Kearney: The four truths
from Dharma Seed - dharmaseed.org: Patrick Kearney's most recent Dharma talks Hosted by Patrick Kearney
(Blue Mountains Insight Meditation Centre) Having opened the hearts of his five companions with his teaching of the middle way, the Buddha now teaches the four truths of the noble ones (cattāro ariya-saccāni). These are: dukkha; its arising; its cessation; and the path leading to its cessation. This discourse centres on dukkha and craving (taṇhā), because the Buddha is concerned here with what coloured his own practice before his awakening – his sense of drivenness, of trying to get in the future something missing now.
