The Heart Of Buddha's Teaching

Product Information

You have to understand that Buddha’s teachings were passed down orally from monk to monk for many generations. So after 400 years, there was only one monk alive in Sri Lanka who could recite all of Buddha’s teachings from memory. It’s a bit ironic, but this monk was arrogant so the other monks had to persuade him to recite the teachings. The Southern Transmission is followed by members of Theravada Buddhism who live mostly in southeast asian countries like Sri Lanka and Thailand. From ancient wisdom to modern science, we study every area of human knowledge. So you can be inspired every day with the best ideas that really help you grow. Jump To Where to start, Meditation, Difficult emotions, Going Deeper, Interbeing, Zen, The Buddha’s life and teachings, His own life, Engaged Ethics, Relationships, Ecology, Buddhism and Christianity, Poetry, For children Engaged Ethics The heart of Buddha’s teachings are The Four Noble Truths. These truths were part of the first lesson Buddha gave his disciples after he became enlightened. Thich Nhat Hanh focuses heavily on these four truths at the beginning of the book to give us a foundational understanding of Buddhism. Buddhists believe that because Buddha shared these truths, he “put into motion the wheel of the Dharma” which in this context means “the Way of Understanding and Love”.

Without suffering, you cannot grow. Without suffering, you cannot get the peace and joy you deserve. Mindfulness is the energy that allows us to recognize our habit energy and prevent it from dominating us. Context and critical analysis. Connections to ideas from related books. Unique commentary and counter-arguments that you won't find anywhere else. You must face your suffering, which means touching deeply both the good and bad, experiencing everything that happens indiscriminately. How? You can do it through mindfulness practices like mindful breathing and mindful walking. Mindfulness lets us appreciate all that we take for granted, like our great gifts of the ability to breathe, walk and see. 6. Follow the Noble Eightfold Path to stop doing what causes suffering (The Fourth Noble Truth)Jump To Where to start, Meditation, Difficult emotions, Going Deeper, Interbeing, Zen, The Buddha’s life and teachings, His own life, Engaged Ethics, Relationships, Ecology, Buddhism and Christianity, Poetry, For children The Buddha’s life and teachings Mindfulness allows us to appreciate what we already have. When people become older or they have bad health, they always deeply miss being young and healthy. Yet young and healthy people usually never appreciate or even notice what they do have. Mindfulness can change this. For example, by giving your full attention to your breathing for a few moments, you can feel how good it feels to breath into your lungs. Someone who has breathing problems would pay anything to feel this. Now, The Northern Transmission is a separate record of Buddha’s teachings, written down in the language of Sanskrit in a part of India. The original Sanskrit writings are lost, but the Chinese and Tibetan translations survive. The Northern Transmission is followed by members of Mahayana Buddhism who live mostly in east asian countries like China and Japan.

Jump To Where to start, Meditation, Difficult emotions, Going Deeper, Interbeing, Zen, The Buddha’s life and teachings, His own life, Engaged Ethics, Relationships, Ecology, Buddhism and Christianity, Poetry, For children His own life Mindfulness practices allow us to touch life deeply. These include mindful breathing, mindful walking, mindful eating… and generally doing anything mindfully. Doing things mindfully means doing them with your full attention in the present moment. Not being distracted by sadness from the past or worry for the future. Buddha’s Second Noble Truth is identifying what source materials in your life are causing your suffering, then not ingesting those toxins again in the future. Source materials include the foods we eat, how we work, what we read, who we talk to, social media, news and what memories we ruminate over. 5. Face your real suffering directly to end it (The Third Noble Truth)Right Action– Being compassionate and protective of all life, including people, animals, plants and minerals. Not killing. Being generous about sharing your time, energy and other resources with those in need. Not stealing. Being sexually responsible, which means only making love inside of a long-term committed relationship. Eating mindfully rather than destructively. And not using alcohol or other intoxicants. Go 1.5x speed or faster. Do you usually listen to audiobooks or podcasts at a faster speed. We've got that feature, too. Right Speech– Telling the truth and not changing what you say when you’re talking to different people. However, speaking the truth must be done in a way that does not cause hurt to others. So do your best to communicate the truth using language other people will be able to accept. The foundation of right speech is deep listening, which means listening non-judgmentally with your whole being. Therapists are trained to listen this way, and it nourishes both people in the conversation. The Southern Transmission is a record of Buddha’s teachings written down about 400 years after Buddha died. It was written down in the language of Pali by Sri Lankan monks. (This one is also known as the Pali Canon.)
