Four Noble Truths

The lam-rim, or graded stages of the Buddhist path, take us from an ordinary limited being to a fully enlightened Buddha.

Mahamudra is a system of meditation that concerns the two natures of mental activity: what it is and how it exists. As with most topics in Buddhism, it is helpful to understand it in terms of the four noble truths.

The Mahayana tradition of the four close placements of mindfulness correlates each of the four in terms of one of the four noble truths for countering one of the four discordant ways of paying attention to our five aggregates.

The foundations of the Buddhist spiritual path are succinctly summarized in a four-line verse written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and explored in an in-depth explanation.

The true causes of our true sufferings are our belief in a false reality and unawareness that it is mere fantasy, plus the disturbing emotions and compulsive behavior that they generate.

The non-conceptual understanding of voidness will stop the tainted aggregates from uncontrollably recurring. 

With a true cessation of the true causes of true sufferings, none of the true sufferings can ever recur again.
