The Four Noble Realities

The Four Noble Realities summarise the Buddhist teachings. They are usually called the Four Noble Truths. But calling them 'Realities' not 'Truths' is better English. (For example, "1+2=3" is a TRUTH; but "1," "2," and "3" are REALITIES).

The Four Realities are considered Noble because, if practised correctly, they lead to Enlightenment. They are:
1) Suffering

2) Cause of Suffering
3) End of Suffering
4) Path leading to the End of Suffering.

The Four Realities should be regarded in the following way:
1) Suffering "must be understood."
2) The cause of Suffering "must be abandoned."
3) The end of Suffering "must be realised."
4) The Eightfold Path "must be practised."

The cause of Suffering is Craving and Attachment.

The Eightfold Path begins with the practice of virtue.
Practise the Four Noble Realities for the sake of enlightenment.
Don't just talk about the Four Noble Realities: practise them!
The reason people suffer? They don't practise the Four Noble Realities.
Why do we suffer? Because of craving and attachment. Because we are unvirtuous. Because we don't practise the Eightfold Path.

Grants Cum Flourish

The specific biological development of Grants semen after 15 years of no fap because he can’t cum.

The sperm has flourished vigorously into what is known as anti-sperm.

His jizzle is now hostile and if in the event of a partition in the seems of his balls, chaos will be unleashed upon the 9 realms
Grants Cum Flourish has developed badly and is extremely hostile. A wanted poster will be placed for every single sperm cell that leaked from his balls in the event of such a spillage.
