I always thought the name of Utahâs major newspaper was some sort of weird misspelling of the word âdesert.â But no, Deseret is the âland of the honeybee,â according to the Book of Mormon. I guess I should have figured they would have caught a typo in the masthead after 154 years. Votes: 1
The Four Noble Truths are pragmatic rather than dogmatic. They suggest a course of action to be followed rather than a set of dogmas to be believed. The four truths are prescriptions for behavior rather than descriptions of reality. The Buddha compares himself to a doctor who offers a course of therapeutic treatment to heal one's ills. To embark on such a therapy is not designed to bring one any closer to "the Truth' but to enable one's life to flourish here and now, hopefully leaving a legacy that will continue to have beneficial repercussions after one's death.
