Будизам

[Хептаграм XI]

"Of paths the Eightfold is the best; of truths the Noble Four are best; of mental states, detachment is the best; of human beings the illumined one is best.
This is the path; there is no other that leads to the purification of the mind. Follow this path and conquer Mara. This is the path; there is no other that leads to the purification of the mind.
This path will lead to the end of suffering. This is the path I made known after the arrows of sorrow fell away.
All the effort must be made by you; Buddhas only show the way. Follow this path and practice meditation; go beyond the power of Mara.
....
Now is the time to wake up, when you are young and strong. Those who wait and aver, with a weak will and a divided mind, will never find the way to pure wisdom.“

- The Dhammapada Introduced & Translated by Eknath Easwaran

Од Liber 777 (атрибуции на симболите низ различни системи):



Four Noble Truths The essential teaching of the Buddha: life is full of suffering; the cause of that suffering is selfish desire; selfish desire can be removed; it can be removed by following the Eightfold Path.

 

[Хептаграм XI]

Theravada, the “way of the elders,” rests on core Buddhist teachings and is the predominant form of Buddhism in Southeast Asia, where it has been practiced for twenty-two centuries.
Theravada is often considered to have remained the closest to the Buddha’s original teachings and bears the most similarity to early Buddhism. The foundation of the Theravada school is the sermons, discourses, and teachings assembled in the Pali canon, which includes some of the earliest written records of the dharma.
Like all forms of Buddhism, the Theravada school today is comprised of many different schools, some monastic and others more oriented toward lay practitioners. In the West, the popular Vipassana, or Insight Meditation, school is a lay meditation tradition based in Theravada tradition of Myanmar (formerly Burma).
