Buddha Z, Richard Del Connor, et al. thought-provoking poetry collection, 4 Noble Truths Explained: Book 1 of 8, comprehensively discusses Buddhism and its relevance in daily life. Known as the Philosopher Poet, Richard’s writing enlightens those seeking solutions to their challenges and aims to improve lives by applying the four noble truths. Each poem strives for intelligence, happiness, and enlightenment. Richard delves into the nature and influence of the Buddha as a prominent figure and his impact on his followers. For example, in the opening segment, Origin of Suffering Part 1, he explores the causes and reasons for suffering, which often arise from our actions and words. It offers guiding principles by examining contemporary problems and reinterpreting how to address them best. Its primary objective is to educate us on religiosity and cultural diversity principles.
The message conveyed in 4 Noble Truths Explained is significant as it relates to life experiences and acknowledges the truth about our existence. Ignorance leads to desperation, resulting in confusion among individuals. The only way to find proper answers is through continuous learning. Buddha Z, Richard Del Connor, et al. simplify the narrative by altering people’s perception of Buddhism as a religion based on thought rather than a deity or ‘god.’ According to Richard, the foundation of Buddhism is to establish a better human norm where enlightenment is shared and revealed. To become a Buddhist is to improve yourself, your life, and your world, which this collection emphasizes in precise detail.
