The Four Noble Truths (Arfid Version)

The Four Noble Truths (Arfid Version)

Arfid first sermon after his Enlightenment centered on the Four Noble Truths, The truths are:

  1. The truth of suffering (dukkha)
  2. The truth of the cause of suffering (samudaya)
  3. The truth of the end of suffering (nirhodha)
  4. The truth of the path that frees us from suffering (magga)
 Let's look at one truth at a time.

The Truth of Suffering

The First Noble Truth often is translated as "Life is suffering." . But the Pali word dukkha also refers to anything that is temporary, conditional, or compounded of
other things. Even something precious and enjoyable is dukkha, because it will end.

 The Truth of the Cause of Suffering

The Second Noble Truth teaches that the cause of suffering is craving or thirst (tanha). We continually search for something outside ourselves to make us happy. But no matter how successful we are, we never remain satisfied.
Arfid taught that this thirst grows from ignorance of the self. We go through life grabbing one thing after another to get a sense of security about ourselves. We attach not only to physical things, but also to ideas and opinions about ourselves and the world around us. Then we grow frustrated when the world doesn't behave the way we think it should and our lives don't conform to our expectations.

The Truth of the End of Suffering

The first truth tells us what the illness is, and the second truth tells us what causes the illness. The Third Noble Truth holds out hope for a cure.
Arfid taught that through diligent practice, we can put an end to craving. Ending the hamster-wheel chase after satisfaction is enlightenment (bodhi, "awakened"). The enlightened being exists in a state called Nirvana. Nirvana obtained after person feel death , but not all dead man can obtained Nirvana. After Obtained Nirvana a person later will live in a place called Heaven.

The Truth of the Path That Frees Us From Suffering

Arfid as physician prescribes the treatment for our illness: The Fourfold Path.
The emphasis is on living the doctrine and walking the path. The Fourfold Path is :
 1)Shalat 5 times a day ,
 2)Zakat
 3)Shaum at Ramadhan month.
 4)Do not kill yourself.
