Abstract

This article aims to propose a way to apply the Four Noble Truths to develop analytical thinking skills for problem-solving in daily life for Gen Z youth, who face more diverse and complex problems in the digital age. The Four Noble Truths, consisting of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path to the cessation of suffering, are Buddhist teachings that emphasize understanding problems, causes, ways to escape problems, and practices leading to sustainable solutions. When young people learn to apply the Four Noble Truths to their thinking, they can identify problems and causes thoroughly, as well as find ways to solve problems rationally and mindfully. This is very beneficial in developing analytical thinking skills that help them to be able to deal with problems effectively. This article presents a conceptual framework for applying the Four Noble Truths through case studies and the practice of analytical thinking skills in various dimensions. Suffering is used as a step in identifying and understanding the problems that arise in life. Origin of suffering is the step of finding the cause of the problem. Cessation of suffering is considering the possibility of solving the problem. And the path is a practice that helps young people solve problems effectively. With this comprehensive process, young people can develop systematic thinking, be thorough, ask questions and review various problem-solving approaches before making decisions. It also helps to strengthen the skills of using reason ethically, which is an important foundation for self-development and sustainable living.
