Unpacking the 4 Noble Truths

Venerable Dekyi

About the Course

The Four Noble Truths – the truth of suffering, the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering and the truth of the path leading to this cessation – was the first sermon the Buddha gave after he was enlightened.

In this series of teachings we will be looking at each of the Four Noble truths and diving a little deeper to unpack the four characteristics of each truth, as described in the Mahayana text Ornament of Clear Realisation (Abhisamayalamkara). The text identifies four characteristics of each truth, for a total of sixteen characteristics, which are presented as a guide to contemplating and practicing the four noble truths.
