Buddha's 4NT-8FP -A Life Problem Solving Technique

The Buddha’s 4NT-8FP is a very sophisticated Life Problem Solving Technique.
By going through the process systematically and diligently, one would be able to resolve any mental problems (btw not physical or those that need serious psychiatric treatments) and live one’s life optimally.

The four noble truths (4NT) can be summarized as follows:
1.The truth of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, stress, angst)
2.The truth of the origin of dukkha
3.The truth of the cessation of dukkha
4.The truth of the path leading to the cessation of dukkha -8FP*

*8FP = Noble Eightfold Paths

The Basic Problem Solving Technique

  1. Defining the problem.
  2. Generating alternatives.
  3. Evaluating and selecting alternatives.
  4. Implementing solutions.
    5.Feedback and Control

The 4NT-8FP when transposed as a conventional problem solving technique is as follows;

1. Defining the problem.
NT1 -The truth of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, stress)
NT2 -The truth of the origin of dukkha -12 Nidanas

2. Generating alternatives.
NT3 -The truth of the cessation of dukkha -Reverse 12 Nidanas

3. Evaluating and selecting alternatives.
NT4 -The truth of the path leading to the cessation of dukkha -8FP

4. Implementing solutions.
8FP -Right View, Intention, Speech, Action, Livelihood, Effort, Concentration, Mindfulness

F5. Feedback and Control
Right View - Is the problem resolved?
Yes, -seek improvement
No, -Check 1 and repeat process

The above is just a model.
Plus point is, it is an objective model and it provide a framework as a guide for anyone to work on.
To put into actual effective practice, it will entail complex, many processes and detail work. The details can be found within the various sutras from the various Buddhist schools. What is needed is to compile the various sets of practices from different schools into one common practice.

The above model works best when the Buddha story is deemed as a myth, where one’s effort is focused on the model and the Buddha’s core principles.

Views?

What is your scientific evidence that such an assertion is even almost true?

It seems a bit psychotic to believe in such a thing since that theory has been tried for over 2000 years with very little success. It’s like you insist on praying to the wrong god that doesn’t deliver for thousands of years, but insist on the truth of it anyway.
