Introduction to Buddhism 103: Karma, Rebirth, and Selflessness discusses some of the most important concepts in Buddhism. It begins with instructions on how to practice analytical mediation. Next is the Four Seals, which define the Buddhist view. They are: everything conditioned is impermanent, everything contaminated is suffering, all phenomena are without self and empty, and nirvana alone is peace. The text then moves on to the Four Reminders, a practice that helps turn one’s mind away from samsara. The Four Reminders are: precious human birth, impermanence and death, karma (cause and result), and the shortcomings of conditioned existence. The text concludes with an in depth discussion of the spiritual friend - how to work with a spiritual friend, the three types, and the ultimate spiritual friend.
