Chapter 51 Conclusion-4

In Buddhism, any action that establishes or strengthens these four views is the right path.Even ritualistic practices like burning incense or practicing mystical meditations and mantras are designed to help us focus on these four truths. And anything that contradicts these four views, including some seemingly compassionate actions, is not part of the Buddhist path.Even if the meditation on emptiness does not conform to these four truths, it will become a pure negation, which is just the way to judge. For the sake of communication, we can say that these four views are the backbone of Buddhism.We call them "truths" because they are simple facts.Nobody made them, they were not mystical revelations of the Buddha, nor were they a fact that became after the Buddha started teaching.Living by these principles is not a ritual, nor a technique; they are not ethical or moral, nor can they be exclusive or exclusive.In Buddhism there are no "heretics" or "blasphemers" because there is no one to whom you must be loyal, and there is no one to whom you can insult or doubt.However, Buddhists consider those who are not aware of or do not believe in these four truths to be ignorant.But ignorance is not used as a reason for moral judgments.If someone does not believe that man himself has landed on the moon, or that the earth is flat, scientists will only say that he is ignorant, not that he is blasphemy.Likewise, if he does not believe in these truths, he is not a heretic.In fact, if someone could prove that the logic of the Four Noble Truths is wrong, that climbing the ego is not a pain, or that some elements are not impermanent, then Buddhists would be more than willing to follow that path.Because what we are after is enlightenment, and enlightenment means realization of truth.However, at least until today, there has not been any proof that denies these four truths over the centuries.

If you ignore these four truths but insist you are a Buddhist out of love for this tradition.Then this is apparent devotion.The Buddhist masters believe that no matter how you label yourself, unless you have faith in these truths, you will continue to live in a world of illusion, believing it to be solid and real.Although this belief can provide a temporary bliss of ignorance, it can eventually lead to some form of anxiety.Then you have to spend all your time trying to solve the problem and get rid of the anxiety.You need to constantly solve problems like a drug addict.Just ask, how many problems have you solved and then watched other problems arise?If you're happy with the ball, then there's nothing to complain about.But when you realize that problems will never end, then the search for inner truth begins.Although Buddhism cannot solve all the temporary problems and injustices of society in the world, if you just start looking, and you happen to have a relationship with Siddhartha, then you may accept these four truths.If so, then you should consider seriously following him.
