(June 16, 2019 at 6:16 pm)vulcanlogician Wrote: I never saw Theravada Buddhism as a "faith." One could even say that the first three Noble Truths are a logical statement.

premise 1: life is suffering

premise 2: suffering comes from attachment

conclusion: Therefore, to be free from suffering, one must be free from attachment.

Something like that, anyway...

I guess you could argue that you need faith in the Dharma as a means of solving the problem of suffering in order to practice it fully? But that's not "a faith."
