Buddhist Belief

 “Every existent is compounded by causes and
  conditions and is void of an independent self”

              THE TEACHINGS OF THE BUDDHA by Dharma Master Fa-Fang

Dharma in one sentence
 When this is, that is. From the arising of this, that arises.
 When this is not, that is not. From the ceasing of this, that
 ceases.
                                           Samyutta Nikya 12, 21


 Another translation

 When this is, that is; because this arises, that arises.
 When this is not, that is not; because this ceases, that
 ceases.

No Self reflected in actions
  At a personal level
 –  Generosity, giving, help others for a common good
 – Transfer of merit
  At a social level
 – From ego/ethnic/nation centric to world-centric,
   consumer vs. individual, tolerance and forgiveness
 – Stop cycles of hatred and revenge
  At a planet level
 –  preserve the environment and resources

The Buddha's Teaching: Its Aim
    ‘to directly addresses the critical problem at the
     heart of human existence: the problem of
     suffering’

    It is a ‘program of deliverance’: makes suffering
     and release from suffering the focus of his
     teaching’

Ordinary suffering
  • birth, old age, sickness, death
  • association with unpleasant persons and conditions,
  • separation from beloved ones and pleasant
   conditions,
  • not getting what one desires

Dukkha as produced by change
    A happy feeling, a happy condition in life, is not
     permanent, not everlasting it changes sooner or
     later
    When it changes, it produces pain, suffering
     produced by change

Dukkha as conditioned states
    Most important philosophical aspect of the First
     Noble Truth
    The Buddha says :
      –  'In short these five aggregates of attachment
         are dukkha’
      –  'O bhikkhus, what is dukkha? It should be
         said that it is the five aggregates of
         attachment’
