Today 13th September, (30th Day of the Lunar Calender) is a very holy and auspicious day and a very good day to pray and pay homage to Buddha Shakyamuini.
Four Nobel Truths(Foundation for all teachings):
“Now, this is the noble truth concerning suffering: Birth comes with pain, decay is painful and death is painful. Union with the unpleasant is painful; painful is separation from the pleasant; and any craving that is unsatisfied, that too is painful. In brief bodily conditions, which spring from attachment, are painful. This is the noble truth concerning suffering.
“Now, this is the noble truth concerning suffering: Birth comes with pain, decay is painful and death is painful. Union with the unpleasant is painful; painful is separation from the pleasant; and any craving that is unsatisfied, that too is painful. In brief bodily conditions, which spring from attachment, are painful. This is the noble truth concerning suffering.
Now this is the noble truth concerning the origin of suffering: verily, it is that craving which causes the renewal of existence, accompanied by sensual delight, seeking satisfaction now here, now there the craving, the craving for the gratification of the passions, the craving for a future life, and the craving for happiness in this life. This is the noble truth concerning the origin of suffering.
Now this is the noble truth concerning the destruction of suffering. Verily, it is the destruction, in which no passion remains, of this very thirst! It is the laying aside of, the being free from, this thirst. This is the noble truth concerning the destruction of suffering
Now, this is the noble truth concerning the way, which leads to the destruction of sorrow: Verily! It is this noble eightfold path; that is to say; right views; right aspirations; right speech; right behavior; right livelihood; right effort; right thoughts; right contemplation. This is the noble truth concerning the destruction of sorrow.”

"Develop the meditation that is like water, for in so doing, pleasant and unpleasant sensory impressions that have arisen and taken hold of thought will not persist. Just as people wash away feces and urine, spittle, pus and blood, and yet the water is not troubled, worried or disgusted - even so, develop the meditation that is like water."
