have anyone ever heard about the "Noble Truth"??
I have been reading this book call "Good Question, Good Answer"..inside there is a discussion about the Basic Buddhist Concepts..
It is writen there that the main teachings of the Buddha is the Four Noble Truth.
The First Noble Truth is that life is suffering. To live, you must suffer. It is impossible to live without experiencing some kind of suffering. We have to endure physical suffering like sickness, injury, tiredness, old age and eventually death and we have to endure psychological suffering like loneliness, frustrations, fear, embarrassment, disappointment, anger, etc.It simply says that to live is to experience physical and psychological suffering which is a statement so true and so obvious that it cannot be denied.
The Second Noble Truth is that all suffering is caused by craving.When we want something but are unable to get it, we feel frustrated. When we expect someone to live up to our expectation and they do not, we feel let down and disappointed. Put simply, the second Noble truth says that getting what you want does not guarantee happiness.
Question: But if we stopped wanting altogether, we would never get or achieve anything.
Answer: True. But what Buddha says is that when our desire, our carving, our constant discontent with what we have, and our continual longing for more and more does cause us suffering, then we should stop doing it. He asks us to make a difference between what we need and what we want and to strive for our needs and modify our wants. He tells us that our needs can be fulfilled but that our wants are endless.After all, what is the purpose of life? To get ot to be content and happy.
The Third Noble Truth is that suffering can be overcome and happiness attained. This is perhaps the most important of the Four Noble Truths because in it the Buddha reassures us that true happiness and contentment are possible. When we give up useless craving and learn to live each day at a time, enjoying without restless wanting the experiences that life offers us, patiently enduring the problems that life involves without fear, hatred and anger, then we become happy and free. Then, and only then, do we begin to live fully.
