from The Four Noble Truths. The Four Noble Truths are the most basic expression of the teaching of Buddha and therefore still form the guidelines for Buddhists to this day. They concern themselves with Dukkha, which has no exact translation but can mean suffering, stress or sadness etc. Magga is The Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Dukkha - the Fourth Noble Truth - which gives us a description of eight disciplines which can help us eliminate the origins of stress from our lives. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

Par SPARKE PHILIP. The Four Noble Truths are the most basic expression of the teaching of Buddha and therefore still form the guidelines for Buddhists to this day. The four truths are Dukkha, which describes times of major stress in our lives - birth, aging, desire and death; Samudaya which describes those parts of our life that induce stress, feeling, craving, desire; Nirodha which tells us how to eliminate those aspects of our lives which induce stress and Magga which describes the eight didciplines which can help us eliminate the origins of stress from our lives. It can be seen from these over-simplified definitions, that the Four Noble Truths fall into two pairs, the first two describingthe origins of stress and the second two describing how we can reduce stress. To reflect this, the four movements of this work are also combined into two pairs - two quick movements and two slow movements. A fascinating work from this great English composer. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Fanfare

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. In The Four Noble Truths ('Die vier edlen Wahrheiten') hat sich Philip Sparke mit den vier Grundbegriffen der Lehre Buddhas befasst und sie in ein eindrucksvolles viersätziges Werk umgesetzt. Die Einteilung der Begriffe in zwei Paare - die Ursachen und die Reduzierung von Belastungen im Leben eines jeden Menschen beschreibend - spiegelt sich in zwei schnellen und zwei langsamen Sätze wider.
