For him, the morals of mediation insight into the essential<br>identity, the identity with all sufferings of all beings, is the insight by which the original<br>egoism is overcome. The Buddhist moral concept suggests the cultivation of loving-kindness<br>(<em>mettā</em>) and compassion (<em>karunā</em>) and in the same way minimizes the desire and reduces<br>one’s own ego. The essence of the Buddhist teaching formulated in the first sermon<br>given by the Buddha as the Four Noble Truths is that unhappiness and unsatisfactoriness<br>(<em>dukkha</em>) are caused by the ego and four types of clinging (<em>upādāna</em>). The practice of<br>Buddhism combines the essence of the Four Noble Truths and the practical detailed<br>explanation of the Eightfold Noble Path divided into three groups: morality, concentration,<br>and wisdom.</p>}, number={3}, journal={The Journal of International Association of Buddhist Universities (JIABU)}, author={Hiridhammo, Holger Lammert}, year={2018}, month={Jun.}, pages={1–9} }
