Core Concepts Dependent Origination: effect by cause. In Buddhism, it refers to the process of speculating on the causes of suffering, one after the other. By attaching meaning to things, we cause quarrels and sorrow, and by being conceited or denigrating others, we cause suffering. Karma: Karma means that if you perform "right actions" now, these "right actions" will accumulate to create your future "self," and the "self" that is created by these "right actions" will easily overcome suffering by thinking right (good) thoughts. On the contrary, if "I" am suffering now, it is because I did wrong things in the past. Four Noble Truths The core of Buddhist doctrine, the first sermon given by Budda shortly after his enlightenment. 1. Dukkha (고성제)- the existence of suffering 2. Samudaya (집성제)- the cause of suffering 3. Nirodha (멸성제)-the cessation of suffering 4. Magga (도성제)- the path to the cessation of suffering Summary of The Four Noble Truth This world is suffering, and the cause of suffering lies in our cravings and worldly desires. Thus, in order to end suffering, one must remove craving by practicing the Noble Eightfold Path. When one establishes a solid insight into all the suffering humans create, one can embark on genuine practice and overcome suffering. Noble Eightfold Path 1. Right View: our actions have consequences, death is not the end, and our actions and beliefs have consequences after death. The Buddha followed and taught a successful path out of this world and the other world (heaven and underworld/hell).Later on, right view came to explicitly include karma and rebirth, and the importance of the Four Noble Truths, when "insight" became central to Buddhist soteriology, especially in Theravada Buddhism.
