Prologue: The Four Noble Truths
& & &
In Buddhism, there are four noble truths; Life means suffering, the origin of suffering is attachment, the cessation of suffering is attainable, and the path to cessation of suffering.
These four truths make up one of the most fundamental of the Buddhist teachings.
These truths show what suffering is, where it comes from, its cessation and the path leading to this cessation.
Throughout Buddhist texts, these truths appear many times.
There are four who embody these truths.
Each one is on his own path to his cessation of suffering.
One lives with the suffering.
One wonders what suffering is.
One tries to ignore suffering.
One is working through the suffering.
These are the four truths.
Suffering and its cession can occur by adhering to these truths.
