By watching people Buddha found out that the causes of suffering are craving and desire, and ignorance. The power of these things to cause all suffering is what Buddhists call The Second Noble Truth.

And just to finish I will add my own slice of personal philosophy :
Insanity is the last refuge of the sane mind.

4 - Then the next books, in their own order: Tales of Power (the 4th), The Second Ring of Power (the 5th), etc...
The first book, The Teachings of Don Juan, happens (in cronological order) together with the chapters 8 to 17 of Journey to Ixtlan. So you can read it whenever you wish. This book is, for me, the less good of them all. So, i suggest you read it after the others.
And the last book, The Active Side of Infinity is different of them all, so it can be read after the 4th (Tales of Power). Its also a VERY good book.
Anyway, i suggest you to look the site i posted the link... so you can get a idea of what you will read in the books... and so, you will wish to read them more yet! :thumbsup:

Philosophy Quotes
Ayn Rand on faith:
Do not say that you're afraid to trust your mind because you know so little. Are you safer in surrendering to mystics and discarding the little that you know? Live and act within the limit of your knowledge and keep expanding it to the limit of your life. Redeem your mind from the hockshops of authority. Accept the fact that you are not omniscient, but playing a zombie will not give you omniscienceā??that your mind is fallible, but becoming mindless will not make you infallibleā??that an error made on your own is safer than ten truths accepted on faith, because the first leaves you the means to correct it, but the second destroys your capacity to distinguish truth from error.
