It is not the outer objects that entangle us. It is the inner clinging that entangles us." - Tilopa
The Four Noble Truths are pragmatic rather than dogmatic. They suggest a course of action to be followed rather than a set of dogmas to be believed. The four truths are prescriptions for behavior rather than descriptions of reality. The Buddha compares himself to a doctor who offers a course of therapeutic treatment to heal one__ ills. To embark on such a therapy is not designed to bring one any closer to __he Truth_ but to enable one__ life to flourish here and now, hopefully leaving a legacy that will continue to have beneficial repercussions after one__ death.
