The Buddha's first teaching - four Noble Truths - have been on my mind this morning. They have given me much room for thought I'd like to share with you, but first let me list them for you as I found them on line:
1. NobleTruth of Suffering
2. Noble Truth of Cause of Suffering
3. Noble Truth of the End of Suffering
4. Noble Truth of the Middle Path or the Noble Eightfold Path
Very briefly - 1 - "Chasing after the delights of the world, expecting them to bring lasting pleasure, always leads to disappointment………None of these 'things' offers any real satisfaction or peace."
I believe this first truth. Do you? A key word for me is "lasting." Tomorrow I'll write more about No. 2 - "cause of suffering."
