July 2019 Zazenkai Talk - "Building a House and the Four Seals"
Manage episode 238496726 series 2363773
Rev. Sekishi's talk on Building a House and the Four Seals: the four characteristics (or "seals") are sometimes seen as a sort of "litmus test" to see if a teaching reflects true Buddha Dharma. But they can also be viewed as part of the core teachings of Buddhism:
- All compounded things are impermanent
- All emotions are Dukkha
- All phenomena are empty; they are without inherent (or "self") existence
- Nirvana is beyond extremes / concepts / description
Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum:
