What are the Four Noble Truths in Buddhism, that Buddha experienced during the Third Watch?

The Correct Answer:

The Four Noble Truths:

1. To live is to suffer (dakkha)
2. Suffering is caused by desire (tahna)
3. Suffering can be brought to cessation
4. The solution to suffering is the Noble Eightfold Pack

I have no idea. I do know that there's a tv show called Third Watch though.

Buddha experienced truths while watching a television show?

1. Third Watch is not as good as ER
2. Snails on your head actually feel kind of good.
3. The Third Watch definitely feels longer than the First and Second Watches.
4. It's not fair that Devi has eight arms and therefore can wear eight watches.

heres my answer in a nutshell:

life is suffering
the cause of suffering is desire
the cure for suffering is to remove desire
to remove desire follow the eightfold path

(understanding/thinking/speech/action/livelihood/effort/mindfullness/concentration

or

dukkha
samudaya
nirodha
magga

I didn't realize Buddha watched TV...


the truths are "the noble truth of stress", "origination of stress", "cessation of stress" and "the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress"

the real truth is pay attention! everything else flows from that. Work it out for yourself.

yes and the fifth noble truth is that ER and Third Watch should never ever cross-over again.

I think I know that. I'll have to paraphrase a bit. Here goes:

1. My life sucks!
2. I want more stuff!
3. I want to be happy!
4. What do I have to do?

i love your version. its like "modern day" LOL

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.



No, wait a minute...

That's what I thought, but they did not have TV in Buddha's time. Before Siddartha Gautama (Buddha) reached his nirvana, he was sitting under fig tree and had his three watches. First one was when he went through all of his former lives, second one was sufferering, and third one was four noble truths.

I don't actually watch either show.

Hey, I'm just winging it. There's no way I'd be likely to remember all that Sanskrit and crap. I guess the important thing is that I got the gist of it.

well i would say that is the gist of it. may i quote you?

Feel free, anytime!

Let's see... Third Watch, huh? Thou shalt not difibrillate without first yelling "CLEAR!". All the world is Maya, because you are in fact a cast member on a television show. Do not wear flammable spray in your hair if you work for the Fire Department. Sitting under a banyan tree can inspire enlightenment, but the kind of enlightenment you get when the tree is on fire probably isn't what you had in mind.

Dammit, everyone beat me to my clever answer, and theirs were better! I am so miserable! I desperately wanted to have the best answer and it didn't work out! This pain and humiliation will never end! There's no answer to my problems - I turn eight ways and still realize I'm doomed! Oh, if only I were enlightened!

I haven't a clue, but I'm sure I want to know so I'll just click on submit and read the answers....

I have NOT been enlightened...

For the third (and hopefully final time today) not a scoobie.

Third Watch is on A&E late night now.. I'm so happy .

Have they crossed over? How is that possible? One is in Chicago and the other is in New York.

Susan (whatever her last name is, the blond doctor) goes to New York to find out what happened to her screwed up sister who dominated all her plotlines the first time around that she was on the show

That does sound dumb.

As simply as possible:
1. There is suffering.
2. There is a cause for suffering.
3. There is a way out of suffering.
4. The teaching is the way out of suffering.

This is a hard question simply by the way you word the answer.

yeah... I think I skipped most of it and just pretended they never did it

I do love Third Watch though.

the noble truth of stress
the noble truth of the origination of stress
the noble truth of the cessation of stress
the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress

Unprovoked is my release. This is the last birth. There is now no further becoming

I learnt this in R.E...but I forgot them.

I haven't studied Buddhism, so I really couldn't tell ya.
