The Path to Inner Wealth

Saturday Class in Lakewood Ranch 

In Sutra of the Four Noble Truths, Buddha says:

You should know suffering.

You should abandon origins.

You should attain cessations.

You should practice the path.

These instructions are known as the “four noble truths.” They are called “noble truths” because they are superior and non-deceptive instructions. Directly or indirectly, all Dharma practices are included within the practice of the four noble truths. Through the instructions and meditations covered in these Saturday classes we can understand in general how to make these precious teachings meaningful in our daily lives.

You should attain cessations. “Attain cessations” means that we should attain the permanent cessation of suffering. Every living being without exception has to experience the cycle of the sufferings of sickness, aging, death and rebirth, in life after life. Following Buddha’s example, we should develop strong renunciation for this endless cycle, and make the strong determination to attain enlightenment, the permanent cessation of suffering, and to lead every living being to that state.

You should practice the path. In this context, “path” does not mean an external path that leads from one place to another, but an inner path, a spiritual path that leads to the pure happiness of liberation and enlightenment. The practice of the stages of the path to liberation can be condensed within the three trainings of higher moral discipline, higher concentration and higher wisdom. These trainings are called “higher” because they are motivated by renunciation, a sincere wish to attain permanent liberation from the sufferings of this life and future lives. They are therefore the actual path to liberation that we need to practice.
