About this deal

And, monks, as long as this — my three-round, twelve-permutation knowledge & vision concerning these four noble truths as they have come to be — was not pure, I did not claim to have directly awakened to the right self-awakening unexcelled in the cosmos with its deities, Maras, & Brahmas, with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & commonfolk. But as soon as this — my three-round, twelve-permutation knowledge & vision concerning these four noble truths as they have come to be — was truly pure, then I did claim to have directly awakened to the right self-awakening unexcelled in the cosmos with its deities, Maras & Brahmas, with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & commonfolk. Knowledge & vision arose in me: 'Unprovoked is my release. This is the last birth. There is now no further becoming.'"

Which is something maintained regardless of what the Hero actually does, because in Goodkind's mind the ends literally do justify the means. What you do doesn't define your moral worth so much as believing what Goodkind believes with the fierceness that he believes it. Murder, torture, beating children, whatever -- if you're in the Right than everything is permitted to you and without consideration or conscience, which are the fetters of lesser men. Here you won’t be spinning a bottle. But instead, here there is a wheel that you will spin to play this amazing game.

I enjoyed the first few Sword of Truth books. Not so much anything after that. I vaguely recall reading somewhere that around halfway through the series, the author either ditched his editor, or perhaps had become so popular that the power dynamics between him and his publisher/editor had shifted. Not sure if that's actually true, or just someone's speculation online, or if I'm just completely misremembering, that would be explain the main flaws I see in the latter works: A bit bloated, very sloppy, and as others have mentioned, maybe a little self-indulgent by an author who likes his own writing a bit much.`The first few books weren't particularly highbrow or original, but they were fun enough and made me care about the characters enough to keep reading even after they stopped being fun... for a while, at least.It has been many years since I last read anything from Terry Goodkind, but from what I remember...Anandajoti Bhikkhu (trans.) (2010). The Earliest Recorded Discourses of the Buddha (from Lalitavistara, Mahākhandhaka & Mahāvastu). Kuala Lumpur: Sukhi Hotu. Also available on-line. The origin of suffering, as a noble truth, is this: It is the craving that produces renewal of being accompanied by enjoyment and lust, and enjoying this and that; in other words, craving for sensual desires, craving for being, craving for non-being.

This is the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the cessation of suffering': such was the vision, the knowledge, the wisdom, the science, the light that arose in me concerning things not heard before. 'This Path leading to the cessation of suffering, as a noble truth, should be developed': such was the vision, the knowledge, the wisdom, the science, the light that arose in me concerning things not heard before.

Bachelorette or Bachelor Parties: Bachelorette or bachelor parties are meant to be a bit naughty. There are a lot of dares that you might want to assign to the people at the party. And if you do it via the Dare wheel, no one will be able to say no to the wheel. Vision arose, insight arose, discernment arose, knowledge arose, illumination arose within me with regard to things never heard before: 'This is the noble truth of the cessation of stress'... 'This noble truth of the cessation of stress is to be directly experienced'... 'This noble truth of the cessation of stress has been directly experienced.'According to Cousins, many scholars are of the view that "this discourse was identified as the first sermon of the Buddha only at a later date." [32] According to Richard Gombrich, When you spin the “yes-no wheel”, it takes some time to come up with an answer. This builds drama and curiosity among the users of the yes no button. The “Yes or No Spinner Wheel” here offers endless possibilities and joy when you spin it. That is what the Blessed One said. The bhikkhus of the group of five were glad, and they approved his words. When I first tried to read Wheel of Time, I found the first book too uninteresting to get engaged. So I read Sword of Truth first. This was sometime in high school. A few years later, I started Wheel of Time. I can say that Wheel of Time is a better read, but Sword of Truth is an easier read.
