FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS

Beginning by Recognising Suffering

From financial pressure and family conflict to physical and emotional unease, the Four Noble Truths guide us first to recognise suffering, then examine its cause, understand its cessation and practise the path that leads beyond it.

01
The Truth of Suffering
See ageing, illness, death, loss and unease as they are, and recognise suffering as the starting point for transformation.
02
The Truth of the Origin of Suffering
Ask where suffering comes from: ignorance, craving and clinging cause affliction to arise again and again.
03
The Truth of Cessation
When craving and attachment cease, suffering can also cease, and the mind gradually moves towards freedom.
04
The Truth of the Path
Cultivate Right View, Right Mindfulness and wholesome conduct through the Noble Eightfold Path, bringing understanding into daily life.

Discerning Cause and Effect

The association places importance on observing body and mind through the principle of cause and effect: distinguish right from wrong, abandon harm, cultivate good and apply what is learned in every choice.
