40. The First Sermon

Modify Del (2006/10/27)

The Four Noble Truths

According to legend, about two and a half millennia ago in what is today southern Nepal, a restless nobleman, Siddhartha Gautama, abandoned his home and family to live as a wandering religious seeker. Six years later, he claimed to have attained liberation from suffering.

Tradition says that the first sermon of this nobleman – who became known as the Buddha, or the Awakened One – was delivered to five disciples in a deer park. It described the causes of suffering and the way in which it can be eliminated. These teachings, known as the Four Noble Truths, form the foundation of Buddhism:

1) To exist is to suffer.

2) Suffering is caused by an ignorant thirsting after things that are necessarily impermanent, including youth, good health, posessions, and even one's own life.

3) Those who cease thirsting after impermanent things will cease suffering. This state of cessation is called nirvana.

4) Nirvana can be attained by following the Noble Eightfold Path, a way of living that combines wisdom, nonviolence, and mental discipline.

사랑은 어떻게 생긴 것인가?
그것은 남들을 돕는 손이 있습니다.
그것은 가난한 자와 필요한 자에게로 속히 달려가는 발이 있습니다.
그것은 불행과 결핍을 보는 눈이 있으며,
그것은 사람들의 한숨과 슬픔을 듣는 귀가 있습니다.
사랑은 그런 것입니다.
