Reality of Buddha's Truth

Buddha spoke of the 4 Noble Truths: 

1. Simply to exist on earth is to suffer
2. Suffering is tied to desire
3. Elimination of desire means the end to suffering
4. The method is the 8-fold path

These 8 steps are as follows: 

(1) Harmlessness or self-restraint (Yama); 
(2) Self-purification and contentment (Niyama); 
(3) Posture (Sana); 
(4) Breath and prana control (Pranayama); 
(5) Introspection or abstraction (Pratyahara); 
(6) Concentration (Dharana); 
(7) Contemplation (Dhyana); 
(8) Superconsciousness or Oneness (Samadhi).


The 8 stepped method (Yama, Niyama, Sana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi) essentially makes its way every year in to our lives to give us a refresher course. Yes, every year we get a chance to reclaim the Truth! However, only a few of us strive to avail this chance.
