| | The Four Noble Truths |
| | This is called the Noble Truth of the Cessation of dukkha (Dukkhanirodha-ariyasacca), which is Nibbana, more popularly known in its Sanskrit form of Nirvana. | | | The realization of this Truth, i.e., to see things as they are (yathabhutam) without illusion or ignorance (avijja) is the extinction of craving 'thirst' (Tanhakkhaya), and the cessation (Nirodha) of dukkha, which is Nirvana. | | | The First Noble Truth (Dukkha-ariyasacca) is generally translated by almost all scholars as 'The Noble Truth of Suffering, and it is interpreted to mean that life according to Buddhism is nothing but suffering and pain. |

| | The second insight of the First Noble Truth is: 'Suffering should be understood.' The second insight or aspect of each of the Noble Truths has the word 'should' in it: 'It should be understood.' The second insight then, is that //dukkha// is something to understand. | | | Within the Buddhist world, there are not many Buddhists who use the Four Noble Truths anymore, even in Thailand. | | | The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, the Buddha's teaching on the Four Noble Truths, has been the main reference that I have used for my practice over the years. |

| | The Four Noble Truths |
| | People have often thought that Buddhism is a very depressing religion or teaching, because they hear the first Noble Truth as being that all life is suffering, but the Buddha didn't really say that all life is suffering. | | | The most important of the Four Noble Truths, of course, is the Third Noble Truth, the Buddha's discovery that there is such a thing as complete freedom from suffering, a very unusual thing for people to claim on this Earth. | | | So that, therefore, really is the truth of causation, that once we perceive ourselves as a separate, real being and that we come into disagreement with the universe, when we are in disagreement with the universe, we fight with the universe. |

| | When the great universal teacher Shakyamuni Buddha first spoke about the Dharma in the noble land of India, he taught the four noble truths: the truths of suffering, the cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering and the path to the cessation of suffering. | | | Buddhists maintain that there is no external creator and that even though a buddha is the highest being, even a buddha does not have the power to create new life. | | | The five aggregates [Skt: skandha]—one physical and four mental—are the elements that constitute a sentient being of the desire and form realms. |

| | The foundation of Buddhist teachings is the Four Noble Truths. | | | Third Noble Truth: The Third Noble Truth states that there is a cure for dukkha; by letting go of our views of a separate self and attachment to impermanent things, and by entrusting ourselves to our inner sacred nature, we experience life for what it really is. This awakening is called Nirvana. | | | To realize these Truths is to eventually penetrate the very ground nature of the universe and thus attain liberation from the suffering of this world. |
