“Buddhisim thought me ‘the truth suffering, but the truth of ‘dwelling happily in the things as the are’. (page 23).
College can make us all go crazy! Each student faces challenges and obstacles that can cause us pain and suffering. In my first two year of college I faced a struggle, trying to accommodate and adjust to the new changes. Because things were not coming out the way i planned it was causing me to feel pain and suffering.
During our class lecture we talked and discuss the two truth in buddhism. We discuss the relative truth and the absolute truth. Most of us tend to look at life through the relative truth. We do not live at the present moment. Every event is not link, causing us pain and suffering. The belief that only joy is linked with suffering as two separate one, is mainly why we see life through this truth. The absolute truth however, it is the completely seeing it as one event link together. We don't have control of the things that happen to us. When we suffer at the moment, but with don't dwell on it and move on what the present has then we find joy. Looking through the absolute truth we are able to move and find happiness “in the things as they are” (page, 23).
This is what I found that I was not living life at the moment, but rather in things that I had no control. It is through meditation our mind learns of to live in the present and be happily as we can be, without labeling things in our own judgment. In the eight noble truth then the right of mindfulness will be then fulfill. Once we had fulfill this we will then move to the be better at the rest of the truth. Looking at the Eight Nobel Truth through the absolute truth.
