Abstract | This research article is dedicated to an analytical study of the Four Noble Truths in Theravāda Buddhism. The doctrine of the Four Noble Truths was taught by the Buddha in his fi rst sermon, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, the “Discourse on Setting in Motion of the Wheel of Dhamma”. All the teachings of the Buddha are based on the Four Noble Truths. The Four Noble Truths realized by the Buddha include the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering and the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering.In his fi rst discourse, the Buddha mentions the truth of suffering (dukkhasaccā) as pariññeyya, meaning that it must be thoroughly realized; samudayasaccā, the truth of the cause of suffering as pahātabba, the truth that must be completely abandoned; nirodhasaccā, the truth of the cessation of suffering as sacchikātabba, the truth that must be experienced; and maggasaccā, the truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering as bhāvetabba, the truth that must be fully developed.The truth of suffering refers to mental and physical phenomena, nāma and rūpa in Pāli. The truth of the cause of suffering refers to attachment, taṇhā in Pāli. The truth of the cessation of suffering refers to Nibbāna. The truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering refers to the Noble Eightfold Path. |
