The Fundamentals: The Four Seals of Buddhism (1 of 6) (2019)

Non-residential Retreat | October 2019 

In this series, Dharma teacher Fred Eppsteiner discusses The Four Seals of Buddhism. The Four Seals are what the Buddha taught to help people clearly understand the fundamental characteristics that ‘stamp’ all human experience. They are the Buddha’s understanding of reality and thus can be confirmed through our own experience. Through analytical introspection and direct observation, the essential truths of reality can be clearly seen by anyone who contemplates these Four Seals. This facilitates the birth of true wisdom so that we can live with greater discernment, intelligence and an enhanced ability to make wise decisions and choices in our life.

The Four Seals are impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, non-self, and nirvana or true peace.
