Buddha’s insightsKarma and the 4 Noble Truths
![Page 12: Jataka tales--RAW](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052122/55499c47b4c9050c708b4aae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
At the heart of these stories lies the law of Karma which states,
according to Buddhist philosophy, that every being becomes what he
makes himself.
![Page 13: Jataka tales--RAW](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052122/55499c47b4c9050c708b4aae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Karma, here, does not stand just a synonym for action. It includes all the causal connections between actions and their consequences.
![Page 14: Jataka tales--RAW](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052122/55499c47b4c9050c708b4aae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Buddha revealed the inner
complexities of karma’s workings,
and pointed out that one can, change the course of one’s life,
by understanding the nature of karma.
He also taught that karma does not
unfold in a simple manner with a single
cause giving rise directly to a specific
effect.

Another key to Buddhism are the four noble truths. 1. there is suffering2. that it has a cause
3. that it can be suppressed 4. that there is a way to accomplish this. These truths find their place in
various Jatakas.

"Shakespeare said that art is a mirror held up to nature. And that's what it is. The nature is your nature, and all of these wonderful poetic images of mythology are referring to something in you.”
