The Four Noble Truths

The Four Noble Truths are one of the most important parts of Buddha’s teachings. The Buddha understood these four truths, while he meditated under the bodhi tree.

1.              

1.  1. There is suffering.

2.        2. Suffering has an origin.

3.        3. Suffering can cease.

4.        4. There is a path out of suffering.

The first two noble truths are about the suffering as a problem and its cause. The third is about the knowledge that there is a cure. And the fourth is description how to achieve enlightenment and be released from suffering.
