A Little Buddha in All Of Us!

[Ziggy]

Buddha says that there are four noble truths.

1. The world is full of suffering this is called the ¨Truth of Suffering¨

2. He says the cause of suffering is undoubtedly found in the thirst of the physical body and it´s desires. This is called ¨The Truth of the cause of Suffering.¨

3. He says If desire can be removed then all human suffering will end. This is called ¨The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering.¨

4. He says In order to enter the state where there is no desire and no suffering, one must follow a certain Path. The stages of this Noble Eightfold Path are:

Questons we can ask ourselves:

Right View (I love my view for in it I see you, What is your View?)

Right Thought (I love my thoughts of love and commassion, What are your Thoughts?)

Right Speech (I hold tight to my speech, What is your Speech?)

Right Behavior (I strive to behave correctly, What is your Behavior?)

Right Livelihood (I do not make much money but I love my Livelihood, What is your Livelihood?)

Right Effort (I place my effort where I know it will help others, Where is your Effort?)

Right Mindfulness (I try to think good thoughts always, Where is your Mindfulness?)

Right Concentration ( I try to spend time in meditation and concentration, What is your Concentration?)

When we understand that these things matter and seek to do what is RIGHT we become one of the ¨People Who Have Acquired the Eyes Of Enlightenment¨

I look at my world through these eyes and I like what I see, I like who I see and I like where I see I am going where I have been and most of all where I am NOW!

On the surface theses truths may seem so difficult to attain yet when we look deep into their meaning we see the simplicity in the message BE RIGHT with yourself and then share that with others. For in all ages, a saint (I consider you all saints) if he-she is a true saint, is one who understands it and teaches it to others.

God Bless the Buddha in all of you and may the right path find it´s way to your doorstep and may your light lead other to that path.
