EXAMINING FLOOD CAUSING THROUGH THE BUDDHA'S ENLIGHTENMENT: FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS

Abstract

The article on examining the causes of floods through the Buddha's enlightenment: The Four Noble Truths is a study of documents, textbooks, and books, including synthesis. Analysis of the causes of flooding problems by reaching the true causes using the principles of the Four Noble Truths which is an important principle stated in the Abhidhamma Tipitaka. The main cause of floods stems from the increasing amount of rainfall. However, scientists have found that the rising temperature on Earth's surface is primarily due to the presence of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas that controls the Earth's temperature. The amount of carbon dioxide affects climate change and global warming, leading to the melting of polar ice caps. This results in rising sea levels and contributes to atmospheric instability, resulting in suffering. The suffering caused by these disturbances is a consequence of things that disturb and provoke. These stimuli, which act as gas igniters, are called “samudaya,” the cause of suffering. The ability to lay down suffering until it is completely extinguished, which is called “nirodha,” is the cessation of suffering. To achieve the cessation of suffering, there must be a method known as “manga,” a path of understanding the Four Noble Truths that begins with oneself as the smallest unit of organization. By understanding one's feelings, analyzing the problem, and comprehending one's own emotions, individuals can face reality and proceed with efforts to solve problems correctly. Everyone can analyze problems and understand their feelings, encountering reality in a way that leads to the correct solution. The goal is to proceed with efforts to solve problems correctly.
