Problem Solving Technique of Spirituality
Posted 08-03-2015 at 09:04 PM by Continuum
The Buddha's 4NT-8FP is a very sophisticated generic Life Problem-Solving-Technique.
By going through the process systematically and diligently, one would be able to modulate and mitigate any mental problems (btw not physical or those that need serious psychiatric treatments) and live one's life optimally.
The Four Noble Truths (4NT) can be summarized as follows:
1.The truth of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, stress)
2.The truth of the origin of dukkha
3.The truth of the cessation of dukkha
4.The truth of the path leading to the cessation of dukkha -8FP*
*8FP = Noble Eightfold Paths
The Basic Problem Solving Technique
1. Defining the problem.
2. Generating alternatives.
3. Evaluating and selecting alternatives.
4. Implementing solutions.
5.Feedback and Control
The 4NT-8FP when transposed as a conventional problem solving technique is as follows;
[B]1. Defining the problem.[/B]
NT1 -The truth of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, stress)
NT2 -The truth of the origin of dukkha -12 Nidanas
[B]2. Generating alternatives[/B].
NT3 -The truth of the cessation of dukkha -Reverse 12 Nidanas
[B]3. Evaluating and selecting alternatives[/B].
NT4 -The truth of the path leading to the cessation of dukkha -8FP
[B]4. Implementing solutions[/B].
8FP -Right View, Intention, Speech, Action, Livelihood, Effort, Concentration, Mindfulness
[B]F5. Feedback and Control[/B]
Right View - Is the problem resolved?
Yes, -seek improvement
No, -Check 1 and repeat process
