LEARN - (Chapter 2) - Why Study Gotama Buddha's Teachings?



The basic premise for anyone who might consider studying Gotama Buddha's teachings to attain Nibbana is the following…



Life is unsatisfactory and in life we all experience "discontentedness or suffering". To be motivated to study and practice Gotama Buddha's teachings and thus spend lots of time and effort, the world must be "shocked" into not being so comfortable with "what is" and be able to see "what is the future if more and more humans attain Nibbana”.



If all humans see the world as a happy, delightful, and a comfortable place to exist, there is no motivation to do anything to improve life.



Thus, one must feel very uncomfortable with life and its existence in order to be motivated to study, learn, implement, and gain the results of Gotama Buddha's teachings. The results are a liberated mind and a pure mind, Nibbana. You may have experienced happiness and excitement in your life but you have also experienced a lot of pain and suffering that you would not want to repeat.



Gotama Buddha’s goal was to provide teachings that gave the mind a place where it could be permanently peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy. The mental state of Nibbana will completely eliminate discontentedness of the mind, for every human.
