Four Noble Truths

When I was in Oregon, I had the great pleasure of meeting Tibetan Buddhist Master,  His Eminence Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche.

He was a very engaging speaker. Among other things,  he spoke of the importance of practicing "teeth magic"  (smiling), and the beneficial effect.

The Four Noble Truths of The Enlightened



Namo Buddhaya

All my suffering is the result
Of my negative thinking and negative karma.
This is the First Noble Truth of the Enlightened,
Which contains all wisdom regarding suffering.
Emaho!
Now I understand suffering
And why I and all beings suffer.
Therefore, to end the suffering of all beings,
I will accomplish the perfection of my positive
Thinking and positive karma.
Dza-ya Dza-ya Su-dza-ya!


Namo Buddhaya

My negative thinking and negative karma
Are the causes of all my suffering
And the conditions of all beings’ suffering.
This is the Second Noble Truth of the Enlightened,
Which contains all wisdom regarding the causes of suffering.
Emaho!
Now I know the causes and conditions
Of my suffering and all beings’ suffering.
Therefore,
I will decrease my negative thinking and negative karma
Through learning, contemplation and meditation.
Dza-ya Dza-ya Su-dza-ya!


Namo Buddhaya

All my happiness is the result
Of my positive thinking and positive karma.
This is the Third Noble Truth of the Enlightened,
Which contains all wisdom regarding happiness.
Emaho!
Now I understand happiness and
Why I and all beings are happy.
Therefore, to ensure the true happiness of all beings,
I will accomplish the cessation of my negative
Thinking and negative karma.
Dza-ya Dza-ya Su-dza-ya!


Namo Buddhaya

My positive thinking and positive karma
Are the causes of all my happiness
And the condition of all beings’ happiness.
This is the Fourth Noble Truth of the Enlightened,
Which contains all wisdom regarding the causes of happiness.
Emaho!
Now I know the causes and conditions
Of my happiness and all beings’ happiness.
Therefore,
I will increase my positive thinking and positive karma
Through learning, contemplation, and meditation.
Dza-ya Dza-ya Su-dza-ya!
