suffering (lust, ill-will & ignorance), freedom from suffering
(enlightening, nirvana or state of removed lust) and method of remove
suffering called as eight noble path. These four findings are called
as Four Noble Truths. Both Buddhist laic & Buddhist monks use this

as dependent organism, stay some time with us & destroy itself. Then
understand all things are not steady, hence sadness happens. So no any
things belong to creature called as "I" (or me). Because if
anything belongs to "I" or me, I could able to controlled them as I like
way or stop them from their destroying. But never like that thing
happen in this universe.
Right Wisdom & Right Freedom
From these eight noble paths, we can understand about life & universe as
it is helping us to destroying our lust to unnecessary bonds. There also
have achieving right wisdom & it finally help to get right freedom. So
this is the great finding of all Lord Buddha. In critical rebirth cycle,
lust & ignorance mainly help to bond to suffering from pains, sick, meet
negative people (where meet angry), losing loved people, what we hope
things can't get in easy way, mental problems & finally death. Person
who liked to achieve enlighten state goes in six paths as below
mentioned methods :
- Person has devotion that six organs
inside the body are unsteady & created cause of past karma collected in infinitive lifetimes
ago,
so he or she called as Saddhanusari or Devotion-Hood.
- Person understands that six organs are unsteady & created cause of past
karma collected in infinitive lifetimes, so he or she called as Dharmanusari or Dharma-Hood.
- Person who removes three ignorance - theory of soul, doubt about Buddhism and follow other religious customs & mere traditional
practicing. They are
called as Soovan or Stream Enterer.
- People attain second states remove - accepting theory of soul, doubt about Buddhism and follow other religious customs & mere traditional
practicing.
Also they reduce or make powerless - great bonds to five senses & great
angry or violence in mind which help to born in human world. They are
called as Sakudragami, means one-returning to lust world. They
rebirth in upper heavens.
- People are non-returning to lust world
called as Anagami and only born in five great heavens of pure lands. People
attain this states remove - accepting theory of soul, doubt about Buddhism, follow other religious customs & mere traditional
practicing.
Also completely remove : great bonds to five senses, great angry & violence
in mind.
But they have bonds to material & non-material worlds, proud, swaying state of mind
via thoughts & thinking.
- Buddhist monks who
attain Arahant or fully enlighten state, they are not rebirth & finished all bonds
in rebirth cycle. As same as flame of oil lamp disappear after fade off, their consciousness also disappear. This is final goal of all Buddhist people. Nibbana, Nirvana, Enlightening &
Noble Freedom means this state. They finished all works in rebirth cycle & got rid from
all pains and death.
