Satya - in Buddhism

In Buddhism

The term Satya (Sanskrit; in Pali: Sacca) is translated in English as "reality or truth" in terms of the Four Noble Truths, the pali (magadhi)it is found as sacca,tatha,anannatatha and dhamma.

sacca: 'Truth'. - 1. On the 'two truths', conventional and ultimale, sammuti sacca & paramattha sacca. the phenomenon which have their own characteristic, while some are conditioned and Nibbana is unconditioned, are collectively called ultimate reality. The uncharacteristic that can found as collectively but not in the unsubstantial, in any context, comes under conventional.

'The Four Noble Truths' {ariya-sacca} are the briefest synthesis of the entire teachings of Buddhism, since all those manifold doctrines of the threefold canon are, without any exception, included therein. They are: the truth of suffering (mundane mental and physical phenomenon), of the origin of suffering (tanha 'pali' the craving), of the extinction of suffering (Nibbana or nirvana), and of the Eight Fold Path leading to the extinction of suffering (the eight supre-mundane mind factors ).

'Mere suffering exists, no sufferer is found. The deed is, but no doer of the deed is there. 'Nibbana' is, but not the man that enters it. The path is, but no traveler on it is seen.(VisuddhiMagga. XVI) The Buddhist practice mainly related and deals with ultimate reality while the Teaching prevails in both.

Famous quotes containing the word buddhism:

    A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.
    W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
