The Four Noble Truths :-)

The First Noble Truth: to reveal your true self, you should just remove the shit that obscures it; and don't be embarrassed by the fact that you have to create nothing but only to destroy.

The Second Noble Truth: a more mature state of consciousness you can achieve only by yourself: the very effort must be from within although of course someone can inspire you to follow (yet any suggestion can only lower you to a more primitive level: for example, it's possible that hypnosis will save you from some symptoms but only at the cost of your going down to a more immature (infantile) state in general.)

The Third Noble Truth: ultimately, there are only two ways how you can interact with the environment: you can merge with it, or deny; the path to truth and real happiness lies only in denying - zazen is just a total denial of everything, and by denying, you don't discard anything but just integrate it in the only proper way. Then the First Noble Truth can be formulated as follows: the way to liberation lies through severing ties, which is quite logical - ie, the shit that we need to remove is our bonds (attachments in traditional terms.)

[Unless someone invades your privacy, to deny, in this case, doesn't imply impoliteness or antisociality: in practice, it most often implies a manner of speaking not for the sake of the very conversation but to solve the problem as quickly as possible and then go separate ways. And most importantly, when you're denying, you're not all alone: just your interaction with the (social) environment has changed; and, paradoxically, this is the only right way to integrate into society.]

The Fourth Noble Truth: severing ties is the cause of the understanding of what was behind them (not vice versa as psychoanalysis declares); therefore, understanding is the ultimate goal in fact. Then the Third Noble Truth actually means that your true self is the very denial (a pure negation.)

The main flaw of psychoanalysis is its inherent determinism, but there is something that allows us to break determinism (karma) and become free: we're not just the result of our past; we're also our potential - the future - but this path is available only for those who're alone (who has no attachments.)

PS From the Third Noble Truth, in particular, it follows that there are two conflicting ideas of happiness: the happiness of being a member of a group, ie, dependent on others, which is often accompanied by a sense of euphoria; and the happiness of being an adult, ie, independent person, who is able to see things as they are, to understand what's happening, and to bear full responsibility for his or her choices. So you should always be accurate in what you mean by happiness.

PS PS Since Buddhism by definition is voluntary (the Second Noble Truth), there is no need to teach and convince you that life is suffering: simply if you agree with this and see the need to change yourself, then Buddhism is just right for you; if not, congratulations - I envy the fact that your problems are so easily solved.
