The Four Noble Realities

The Four Noble Realities summarise the Buddhist teachings. They are usually called the Four Noble Truths. But calling them 'Realities' not 'Truths' is better English. (For example, "1+2=3" is a TRUTH; but "1," "2," and "3" are REALITIES).

The Four Realities are considered Noble because, if practised correctly, they lead to Enlightenment. They are:
1) Suffering

2) Cause of Suffering
3) End of Suffering
4) Path leading to the End of Suffering.

The Four Realities should be regarded in the following way:
1) Suffering "must be understood."
2) The cause of Suffering "must be abandoned."
3) The end of Suffering "must be realised."
4) The Eightfold Path "must be practised."

The cause of Suffering is Craving and Attachment.

The Eightfold Path begins with the practice of virtue.

Practise the Four Noble Realities for the sake of enlightenment.
Don't just talk about the Four Noble Realities: practise them!
The reason people suffer? They don't practise the Four Noble Realities.
Why do we suffer? Because of craving and attachment. Because we are unvirtuous. Because we don't practise the Eightfold Path.

Detached from reality

Insane. Just plain off your rocker. Not "with it".

“I thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has lost contact with— he’s become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff," Barr said of a breaking point he had in December.

truth and reality war

The inherently unresolvable conflict between the things individuals believe.

Because each individual comes to believe the things he or she believes as a result of his or her experiences, different individuals will always have certain beliefs which are different or even opposite the beliefs others have, and at different times will in some way need to fight in what is the "truth and reality war."

Beliefs are thoughts linked to an emotion.

Reality Show Off

A reality show person who changes behavior, usually more obnoxious, when the cameras are rolling.

John is always trying to be a bad ass when the cameras are rolling on that show. He's really just a wuss. What a reality show off.
