The Noble Eightfold Path, Chapter 1 - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The truth of Duhkha
        
        Duhkha is a feeling of dissatisfaction
      - The origin of Duhkha
      - The cessation of Duhkha
      - The path to the cessation of Duhkha
    - - One can come in suffering with the physical process of life itself
        
        Here dukkha shows up in the events of birth, aging, and death, in our susceptibility to sickness, accidents, and injuries, even in hunger and thirst.
      - It can also show up in our inner reactions to disagreeable situations and events
        
        Here it is seen in the sorrow, anger, frustration, and fear aroused by painful separations, by unpleasant encounters, by the failure to get what we want.
  - - - Samsara occurs because we circle around the three poisons; ignorance, greed and hatred
        
        greed = chicken
        
        hatred = snake
        
        ignorance = pig
- - - - Greed: self centered desire for pleasure and possessions.
        
        The animal that represents greed from the Four Noble Truths video is a chicken.

        The animal that represents hatred (aversion) from the Four Noble Truths video is a snake.
      - Delusion: means mental darkness; the thick coat of insensitivity which blocks out clear understanding
        
        The animal that represents ignorance (delusion) from the Four Noble Truths video is a pig.
    - - The root of all the defilements is ignorance, which is fundamental darkness shrouding the mind.
  - - - Or we struggle over ambiguities, our sight clouds, and we become lost in delusion.
        
        This is the root of Duhkha and the cycle continues.
