Friends:

Tell your good friends about the real Truths!

The Blessed Buddha once said this:
Bhikkhus for those you have sympathy, those you consider worth
listening to, whether friends, colleagues or family members, these
you should explain, reassure and establish in breaking through to
genuine understanding of the 4 Noble Truths as they really are...
What four?
The Noble Truth of Suffering as in all inherent misery;
The Noble Truth on Craving as the Cause of all Suffering;
The Noble Truth on Ceasing of Craving as the End of all Suffering;
The Noble Truth on The Noble Eightfold Way will End all Suffering!
Therefore, Bhikkhus, an effort should be dedicated to really understand:
All this is Suffering! An effort should be made much of to truly comprehend:
Craving is the Cause of Suffering! An effort should be aroused to realize:
No Craving is the End of Suffering! Effort should be made to set in motion,
reinforce, and develop: This Noble 8-fold Way which Ceases all Suffering...

Comments:
Teaching the 4 Noble Truths is real compassion & giving of the Deathless!
Should only be done to those who can understand it & at the right occasion!
