Four Noble Truths (Part 1)




Four noble truths are the core of the Buddhism teachings. These four is called as Arya Sachcha in Pali. These are the only truths which exist in this universe forever.

All Samma Sambuddhas and Pachcheka Buddhas in this universe realize these noble truths by their own. No others can understand these things by their own, except them. Only the Samma Sambuddhas can teach them to the world in time to time in this endless Sansara.  There are times without the Buddhas births and in that times we can not hear the words called "Arya Sachcha"  even. So it is very rare to hear these truths in this Sansara.

Noble truths are the only path to the Nirvana. Without realize them no one attains Nirvana. These truths are very deep and have lot of details in each steps (In here I'm just giving brief introduction to them only). After you read these articles sometimes you may think as "what is this? how simple it is? ". But believe me it is not like that. If we can understand these truths in deep we just  give up everything, every desires in that moment instantly. What we know is nothing about these. If any one can really understand these truths, then he becomes a Arya (noble) person and he removes links between the Sansara and himself.

Noble truths describe the Sansara, reason to this Sansara, how to get away with it and the path for it. Gauthama Buddha's first Dhamma sermon is Dhammachakkappawaththana Suthra and it is about the nobles truths. Buddha had preached about noble truths to the humans, the gods and the Brahmas in so many times and many of them attained Nibbana with those Dhamma sermons. So these are very great and glorious teachings of the Buddha. Following are four noble truths and lets see the detailed description about each one in future posts.
