Review: Avatamsaka Sutra. Book 8 - Four Noble Truths

The four noble truths are:
The truth of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, dissatisfaction)
The truth of the origin of dukkha
The truth of the cessation of dukkha
The truth of the path leading to the cessation of dukkha

[十方世界，一一世界中，说苦圣谛有百亿万种名，说集圣谛、灭圣谛、道圣谛亦各有百亿万种名；皆随众生心之所乐，令其调伏。]


In this ending statement of the 4 Noble Truths, it states that:_

" In all the Individual Worlds of the Ten Directions, there are hundred billions of Names or Terms to talk about the each one of the 4 Noble Truths.

All these custom to the Benefit or Well-being or Good of each Individual Sentient Being, aiding them in reconciling/settling down to their Individual Preferences."


All the terms enumerated are what Shizun shares with us all along as well! :)

Yes! Once you understand and can put all these to PRACTICAL USAGES; you can truly cultivate well with these mindsets.

Enlightenment is within your grasp!

Choice is yours to Reach Out Or Not for these "Aids to Enlightenment"!

You can also said they are "Answers to Enlightenment"!

Hahaha!


Stay tune though; for the coming chapters are even more Enlightening as

Book  9 introduces the various Enlightened Beings and

Book  10 contains Conversations between Enlightened Beings like Manjusri! :)


Please go read all these on your own, do not leave out any though.

You need to read them in sequence to enjoy the Sutra to its ultimate fullness!

Hahaha!
[I went through from Book 6 to Book 10 yesterday and stretches into the early morning hours of today.]
