Four Noble Truths Episode 1

Video Number 1 of 8

Suffering

The first of the Four Noble Truths is the Truth of Suffering. In this lesson, Gelek Rimpoche explains that what we ordinarily call happiness is in fact suffering. The truth is that suffering is the problem. It is very important to recognize what is wrong with us.  The reason the Buddha spoke about suffering first is that he was trying to tell us to acknowledge the truth so we can handle it.  If you deny it then nothing will happen.

The Second Noble Truth: The Cause of Suffering

One of the Buddha’s core teachings is dependent origination. Nothing arises on its own. Suffering is the same way. It arises because it has a cause. When the causes and conditions are right then the result materializes.

This is the wisdom that the Buddha shared with us. In this lesson, Gelek Rimpoche explains that we create the causes of suffering or joy. The cause of suffering is our negative emotions.

Four Noble Truths Episode 8

Episode number 8 of 8

The Fourth Noble Truth and Three Higher Trainings

In this lesson, Gelek Rimpoche explains that progress on the path to cessation depends on the development of the Three Higher Trainings: morality, concentration and wisdom.

Buddhism has three types of morality: Protecting yourself from wrong doing, building as much as possible virtue, and dedicating oneself to helping living beings as much as you can. One aspect of concentration is to replace negative addictions with positive ones by focusing on the positive results of meditative analysis.

Through wisdom we replace the wrong knowing with the right knowing.
