Upon completing the path that led him to fully develop compassion
and wisdom, Shakyamuni arrived at enlightenment, the state of
Buddhahood that marks the end of suffering. Replying to the
requests made of him, he transmitted three cycles of teachings to
explain the path he had taken and the methods he used.
Traditionally, Buddhism counts 84,000 teachings, and the four seals
of the Dharma contain the essence of all these. Like a royal seal
that historically proved authenticity and authority, the four seals
give a true description of our current situation and that to which
we can progress: All phenomena are impermanent by nature. All
contaminated phenomena are suffering by nature. All phenomena are
empty and devoid of inherent existence. Nirvana is a state of
absolute peace. The first two seals allow us to understand the
characteristics of our condition and the last two, the qualities of
liberation. In this way, the teaching shows the Buddha's path and
the Buddhist perspective. Today, Buddhism is no longer an exotic
movement but a methodology that has taken root and is practiced in
the West. Nevertheless, do we really know what it means to be
Buddhist? Using the introspective process of investigation that is
precious to this tradition, Lama Khenpo Ngedoen directly involves
the reader in this discovery by asking simple, to-the-point
questions and then bringing together the elements of an answer
connected with these four statements.
