The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism



1 - All human life is suffering (dhukka).

2 - All suffering is caused by human desire, particularly the desire that impermanent things be permanent.

3 - Human suffering can be ended by ending human desire.

4 - Desire can be ended by following the "Eightfold Noble Path": right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.


not trying to convert your faith as I am no Buddhist myself but I do find alot of wisdom in it - hope it helps even the smallest bit

peace
