Four Noble Truths – Four Websites

The four websites, in the table below, have been created with an aspiration to match each website – in a tangential manner only – with one of the Four Noble Truths. The tagline for each website reflects this aspiration.

In reality, the four websites each present the Four Noble Truths and Buddhist teachings in a comprehensive way.

Buddhism communicates its vision of existence through three great images. “Perfect Vision is a vision, first of all, of our actual present state of bondage to conditioned existence as represented by the Wheel of Life. It is also a vision of our potential future state of Enlightenment as represented by the Buddha, or the mandala of Buddhas, or a Pure Land. Finally it is a vision of the path or way leading from the one to the other – a vision, if you like, of the whole future course of evolution” (Sangharakshita, The Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path, revised edition, 2007).
