Product Information

Gethin: "The word satya (Pali sacca) can certainly mean truth, but it might equally be rendered as 'real' or 'actual thing'. That is, we are not dealing here with propositional truths with which we must either agree or disagree, but with four 'true things' or 'realities' whose nature, we are told, the Buddha finally understood on the night of his awakening. [...] This is not to say that the Buddha's discourses do not contain theoretical statements of the nature of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path to its cessation, but these descriptions function not so much as dogmas of the Buddhist faith as a convenient conceptual framework for making sense of Buddhist thought."

And what is that Middle Path realized by the Tathagata...? It is the Noble Eightfold path, and nothing else, namely: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration. This is the Middle Path realized by the Tathagata which gives vision, which gives knowledge, and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment, and to Nibbana. The middle way discovered by a Perfect One avoids both these extremes; it gives vision, it gives knowledge, and it leads to peace, to direct acquaintance, to discovery, to nibbana. And what is that middle way? It is simply the noble eightfold path, that is to say, right view, right intention; right speech, right action, right livelihood; right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. That is the middle way discovered by a Perfect One, which gives vision, which gives knowledge, and which leads to peace, to direct acquaintance, to discovery, to nibbana.

[2] Sword of Truth ... It... Tried to steal notes off Wheel of Time, except the main character in addition to being super-powered is also ALWAYS RIGHT and any cost to him is wholly momentary. And Goodkind stops to soapbox all the time after the first book. And the point of most of the books is just to be a soapbox. And rape-fetish. And... It's... Just don't. It's not much like Wheel of Time at all, actually. But Rand Al'Thor and Richard Dahl having somewhat similar names and madhax powerz gives them odd parallels.

What exactly was regarded as the central insight "varied along with what was considered most central to the teaching of the Buddha."

When he understood these truths he was "enlightened" and liberated, [note 11] as reflected in Majjhima Nikaya 26:42: "his taints are destroyed by his seeing with wisdom." [40] The four truths were superseded by pratityasamutpada, and still later by the doctrine of the non-existence of a substantial self or person.

Which of the above series should I look at next? Any others? Any recommendations gratefully received.Do not read the Sword of Truth books at all. Ever. Not even if someone is paying you to do so. They are really really bad. To be fair the first few are alright. Some weird sex stuff and way to much rape (like holy crap, I think every book has multiple rape scenes in it), but overall a C-. But it drags on, gets worse and worse with crappy pseudo philosophy garbage, the main character gets more and more Sueish, with more and more absolutely drop dead gorgeous women fall madly in love with him, while the main villains plot is really stupid and relies on everyone in the world apparently being a moron.
