A Way to Awakening
I have been fascinated by and inspired in the way that Buddhism offers humanity the goal of finally ending suffering. It does so in a systematic manner.
As a result, I have created a table entitled A Way to Awakening that presents an overview of the Buddhist path.
Briefly, the table lists the following:
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
- The Nature of Suffering (Dukkha)
- The Twelve Links of Dependent Origination
- Five Components of Which a Human is Composed (Five Aggregates)
- The Three Torments of the Mind
- Mental States of Suffering
- Ten Fetters
- Five Hindrances
- Eight Worldly Conditions
- Three Marks of Existence
THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH
- Wisdom (panna)
- Virtue (sila)
- Concentration (samadhi)
- Five Spiritual Faculties and Strengths
- Seven Factor of Enlightenment
- Ten Perfections
- Five Dharmas to be Mindful of
- The Brahma-viharas
- Eight Principles of the True Dharma
- 38 Blessings in Life
- The Five Precepts
- Four Bases of Power
- Refuge in the Triple Gem
- Two Types of Reality
- Meditation
- Right Effort
