The Four Noble Truths
The Buddha's profound insight into Enlightenment has come to be known as " The Four Noble Truths " and the Dependent Origination. When we talk about the four Noble Truths, we mean suffering as the problem, craving as the cause of problem, the noble eight - fold path by mean of middle way practice as the method of problem solving and the end result is liberation or salvation. In other words.
1. Suffering exists
2. Suffering arises from attachment or clinging to craving or desire.
3. When attachment to desire ceases, suffering ceases.
4. Freedom from suffering is cultivation by practicing the Noble Eightfold Path of the Middle Way.
The human's problem is suffering, or dissatisfaction [ unsatisfactoriness - according to Buddhadamma Text ]. The causes or the origin of suffering is attachment to craving; craving for sensual pleasure, craving for existence and craving for non - existence or self - annihilation.
