About this episode

In this episode we continue our exploration of the Four Noble Truths of the Bauddha School of Indian Philosophy. A detailed overview of the teachings of Gautama Buddha is given including the four noble truths and their philosophical implications.

This is the 11th episode of the series of lessons derived from Satischandra Chatterjee and Dhirendramohan Dutta's "An Introduction to Indian Philosophy". What you would encounter is a reading, commentary and explanation of the text. The series is done primarily catering to Muslim audiences, however it is going to be of great use to anyone interested in Indian Philosophy.

The book (and this series) follows closely with the UPSC syllabus as prescribed for Philosophy Optional Paper 1 and hence can be of great use to any students trying to develop an understanding for the same.
