The Four Noble Truths
In this episode I deviate from my normal track of teaching based in western philosophy and delve into eastern philosophy; specifically, Buddhism as a philosophy, not a religion. True wisdom can come from many sources. Only a fool would ignore wisdom just because its source is outside their normal scope of focus. What we'll consider in this episode is the Buddhist teaching of the four noble truths and the eightfold path. These four noble truths are the first teachings given by the Buddha and are considered to be the most important lessons learned in the study of Buddhism. Join me as we learn that truth is truth, and wisdom is wisdom regardless of its cultural framework.
