the Practice to Ariya Sacca (Noble Truths) |
| 1)
Dukkha-Sacca: In each position we see
suffering. This is dukkha vedana and
sankhara dukkha, which leads to dukkha
sacca (rupa and nama
are suffering). |
| 2)
Samudaya-Sacca: Tanha
is the cause of suffering. While being aware of sitting rupa,
etc. (in the present moment), Vipassana
wisdom occurs, and one is able to eliminate the wrong view that it
is "you" sitting i.e., sakkha-ditthi
(vibhavatanha). |
| 3)
Nirodha-Sacca: The more defilement is
reduced, the more we reach cessation of suffering (Nirodha).
This can be momentary, (tadanganirodha)
as in present moment, or permanent, as in full enlightenment (samuched
nirodha). |
| 4)
Magga-Sacca: While being mindful of the
position as rupa, in the present moment,
we are cultivating sila, samadhi,
and panna, which is the Eight-Fold Path,
or Magga Sacca. The more we realize suffering
by wisdom, the more we cultivate the Eight-Fold Path. |
