    The Fourth Noble Truth - Time to put in the work - The Mindful Family Business

    The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path are shorthand reminders of the Buddha’s core teachings on how to live a peaceful, fulfilling life. The formula was developed by his followers after his death as the Buddha left no written records of his teachings.
    Note that although still in everyday use when referring to this subject the term Noble does not refer to aristocracy or any sort of superiority. It simply means truths that make you are better person.
    The Fourth Noble Truth: to cultivate these skills we have to follow a path that contains eight components, as follows:
    As with the word Noble above, the Eightfold Path uses a word that needs a little clarification. Each of the eight paths starts with the word Right. In this case it does not mean right as opposed to immoral, so it is not judgemental. Nor does it mean correct as opposed to wrong. It is best thought of as skilful or wise.
    Right UnderstandingRight Intentions or Thoughts Right Speech or Communication Right Actions Right Livelihood Right Effort Right Mindfulness Right Concentration or Focus

    The Second Noble Truth - Your mind can make it worse - The Mindful Family Business

    The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path are shorthand reminders of the Buddha’s core teachings on how to live a peaceful, fulfilling life. The formula was developed by his followers after his death as the Buddha left no written records of his teachings.
    Note that although still in everyday use when referring to this subject the term Noble does not refer to aristocracy or any sort of superiority. It simply means truths that make you are better person.
    The Second Noble Truth: recognise that these different types of suffering are produced by your mind, even if the apparent cause is external. The mind reacts negatively to life experiences that we didn’t want, and does the same when we don’t get things we were hoping for. The Buddha called these wants and dislikes “thirsts”. It is thirsts that cause unhappy states of mind.

    In this episode we explore The First Noble Truth. This states that we should be aware that life brings with it many forms of dissatisfaction, frustration, irritation, and many levels of suffering.
    On the face of it this may not seem too inspiring but in our conversation Martin and I explain why this is not the case.
