Four Noble Truths
Along with the Eightfold Path, the Four Noble Truths comprise the fundamental teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni and refer to: suffering (all life is suffering); origination (desire, anger, and ignorance are the causes of suffering); cessation (Nirvana ends all suffering); and path (the Eightfold Path leads to this ending).
