The Four Noble Truths

Kris focuses today on the essential teachings of The Buddha - "The Enlightened One", who - as a young prince born into privilege, set forth courageously into the world to confront and comprehend the suffering he observed. The Buddha came to realise four fundamental truths. What were these essential teaching of the Buddha - "The Enlightened One"?

Kris's insights into The Buddha's "Four Noble Truths", the "Five Aggregates" - or "Experiences", re-incarnation into a "Chain of Lives", the "Eight-fold Path to Enlightenment" ("triple training"), "Nirvana" and "Dharma" reveal what these wisdoms reveal for our own spiritual journey - especially when we endure the hard times of … craving, ….of loss, ….of suffering and how it is possible to be free - of craving - of loss and of suffering. Kris also compares Buddhist beliefs with those of Karl Jung and ends with the following wisdom - gleaned from a Buddhist journey of discovery: "When in doubt, breathe deeply and maintain good intentions".
