The Four Thoughts That Transform The Mind


The Buddha once talked about four thoughts that, if one would stop to think about, one would become liberated.

They were as follow:

  1. The human experience is unique
  2. Life can very easily be lost
  3. Specific actions lead to specific results
  4. Actions accumulate and experiences manifest

In The Eightfold Path, there are four stones with these thoughts hidden across the entire map.


By finding them, you can increase the monk's awareness, enabling you to see further away. With greater awareness you can also approach animals more, as they will be less affraid of you.

What do you think about these four thoughts?  What did Buddha meant?
