[Dipobhasadhamma]

Dear Lal,

What would you consider the most important tenets of Buddha Dhamma to be, particularly for one who is new to the teachings of the Buddha?

My own list looks something like this, but not in any order. Perhaps you have a more preferable order.

Dukkha sacca
Anicca
Dukkha } Tilakkhana
Anatta
Kamma
Rebirth

With metta,
Dipo

[Lal]

I agree since you say the list is not in a particular order.

A preferable order is:

Kamma
Rebirth
Dukkha sacca
Anicca
Dukkha } Tilakkhana
Anatta

The first two fall within getting rid of the ten types of wrong views (miccha ditthi).

It would be impossible to see the world’s anicca, dukkha, and anatta nature until one gets rid of the wrong views about the world: No results of kamma (done with lobha, dosa, moha, alobha, adosa, amoha,) no rebirth process, no spontaneous births, etc.

See, “Micchā Diṭṭhi, Gandhabba, and Sōtapanna Stage”
