The Four Noble Truths [View all]

That seems like an interesting subject for discussion in such a group, considering how essential and core and compact it is to the teachings.

What would be interesting to know is how others see them.

Do, (or did) you have any problems with accepting their meaning and implications? How have they changed your perspective and experiences? How long has it been since you encountered them?

One would wonder if shared insights on something fundamental could break some ice and warm the air that is mind moving through this group.

Of course, the list of questions is not meant to be a limit in regards to your own thoughts and experiences.

Be Well!
