Four Noble Truths of Buddha | Misunderstanding of Second Noble Truth: Podcast

Hello and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind download page and today I would like to share with you a Podcast about Buddhist Beliefs and the four noble truths of Buddha.

Four Noble Truths, Pali Chattari-ariya-saccani, Sanskrit Chatvari-arya-satyani, one of the fundamental doctrines of Buddhism, said to have been set forth by the Buddha, the founder of the religion, in his first sermon, which he gave after his enlightenment.

Although the term Four Noble Truths is well known in English, it is a misleading translation of the Pali term Chattari-ariya-saccani (Sanskrit: Chatvari-arya-satyani), because noble refers not to the truths themselves but to those who understand them. A more accurate rendering, therefore, might be “four truths for the noble”; they are four facts that are known to be true by those with insight into the nature of reality but that are not known to be true by ordinary beings. The Buddha stated in his first sermon that when he gained absolute and intuitive knowledge of the four truths, he achieved complete enlightenment and freedom from future rebirth.

The Four Aryan (or Noble) Truths are perhaps the most basic formulation of the Buddha’s teaching. They are expressed as follows:

• The Truth of Suffering

• The Causes of Suffering

• The End of Suffering

• The Path that Frees us from Suffering
