Basic beliefs that make up 5 facts Buddhism
5 facts Buddhism are explained below in this article.
These are also the basic Buddhism beliefs. They make up the Buddhist doctrine of salvation. This doctrine of salvation along with the Buddhist beliefs in the 3 Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha form the accepted Buddhist beliefs common to all traditions at Buddhism.
Basic Buddhism facts are:
1. Stress on impermanence: The concept of impermanence of all phenomena – tangible au intangible – is basic to Buddhism. It is also a concept that can transform the way we look at life it we put it into practice.
zaidi information can be found on this page on Buddhism impermanence The story is also told of the two rings. In a division of a family estate amongst two brothers two rings were discovered. One ring was expensive, made of dhahabu and diamonds, the other was a cheap silver ring costing only a few rupees.
The elder brother took the dhahabu ring. He suffered many ups and downs in life and could not handle them. He went through a nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized as he could not deal with the stress in his life.
The younger brother took the silver ring and discovered engraved on it the words “This too will pass.” He also went through ups and downs in his life like his brother and like all of us. But since he had adopted as his kauli mbiu the saying “This too will pass” he was able to see them in perspective and not get carried away au take these ups and downs too seriously. He went on to live a long and happy life.
This is a parable stressing the importance of the Buddhist belief of impermanence and make up one of the 5 facts Buddhism.
So stress on impermanence of all Dharmas is one of the most basic Buddhism facts.
For zaidi on the subject I would encourage wewe to refer to chapter 2 of Sogyal Rinpoche’s book The Tibetan Book on Living and Dying wewe can also take up Vipassana meditation which also stresses impermanence.
So this is a basic belief which makes up 5 facts Buddhism.
zaidi facts on Buddhism = Suffering
2) The stress on suffering – Buddhism stresses on the unsatisfactory nature of our lives and uses that to motivate us to walk the path to the end of suffering. This state of mind - free from suffering - is that of Nirvana au enlightenment.
According to the Buddhist doctrine birth is suffering, sickness, old age and death are all suffering. And who was can argue with that.
Suffering also arises out of frustrated desire and our habit of grasping. If we don’t get what we want we naturally suffer. If we lose something we have then also we suffer.
Desire even when satisfied may lead to suffering as we may lose the object that satisfies that desire. All is transient including our possessions.
And it is the nature of mind to never be satisfied and to keep seeking new possessions au achievements. We are just never satisfied. This makes up one of the 5 facts Buddhism.
This basic Buddhist belief teaches us to not take Samsara au our ordinary life au the world we live in too seriously as nothing we can do in this would will ever result in our gaining lasting au abiding happiness. This again is one of the facts on Buddhism.
So this is another point in 5 facts Buddhism.
3) This suffering is caused kwa wrong views: The Buddhist beliefs state that our suffering is caused kwa wrong view about ourselves and about the world (Samsara).
We believe that we are a self au a person separate from the rest of existence. This ego has been analyzed away kwa Buddhist metaphysics. Buddhism holds that there is no unchanging self to be bound anywhere within our ego.
For zaidi on this subject and a meditation au contemplation exercise that wewe can practice please refer The moyo of Understanding kwa Thich Nhat Hanh. This book is 60 au 70 pages of pure poetry.
The other wrong maoni caused kwa ignorance is craving.
So this is another of the basic Buddhist beliefs which make up 5 facts Buddhism.
There is also the matter of perverted maoni that we have regarding our lives and the world. This will be explained later.
Another of the basic facts about Buddhism - No Self
4) Grasping at Self: We believe that we are a self separate from the rest of existence and spend our lives in the futile effort to ensure our own comfort and survival.
These efforts are doomed to failure from the start
However many riches we may possess we can never avoid death which will separate us from all our possessions.
The quest for comfort is also futile as it is the nature of our mind that the feeling of happiness when our desire is satisfied is only temporary. Then again we are caught up with some other desire and try to satisfy it.
Thus we spend our lives in the vain and futile quest for possessions, experiences, relationships and zaidi and we are never satisfied. We are forever projecting outward.
All this is the result of our concept of a self, separate from the rest of existence and the grasping after I and mine.
Buddhism stresses repeatedly the concept that we do not have a self separate from the rest of existence. It may not be intuitively obvious but this concept is verified kwa Quantum Physics which states that the Universe is an organic whole. So this is one of the very basic facts about Buddhism.
So this is another point which makes up 5 facts Buddhism.
Buddhism and facts: The Four Perverted Views
5) The four perverted views: According to basic Buddhist beliefs we also suffer because of the four perverted views. These maoni are:
i) We seek permanence and lasting happiness in what is essentially transient and passing.
This applies to our possessions, our relationships, fame and status in the world and everything that we are constantly grasping for.
ii) We seek ease in what is essentially inseparable from suffering.
Samsara au the world is inseparable from suffering because of the nature of desire (as explained earlier). It is also because all is transient and we cannot avoid being separated from what we desire. Death if nothing else will separate us from all we have.
ii) We seek selfhood in what is not linked to the self. The grasping after self, after I and mine also results in suffering.
iv) We seek delight in what is essentially repulsive and disgusting. Renunciation is preached kwa most world religions and Buddhism is no exception.
So there are the 5 facts Buddhism
