What Are The 4 Noble Truths Of Buddhism? A Simple Summary

What did the Buddha have to say? The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, which were the Buddha's first teaching, express the emancipation from conflict, which is at the core of Buddha Dharma.

This first lesson comes from the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, often known as the Turning of the Wheel of Truth.

The Four Noble Truths: What Are They?


The truth about dukkha. The Sanskrit word dukkha signifies tension, struggle, suffering, trouble, anxiety, and dissatisfaction. We don't want to be told that because everything is temporary, life is difficult by nature.

The genuine beginning of Dukkha. The realisation that we are the authors of our own problems suggests that there is a reason or goal behind conflict and suffering. We suffer when, instead of accepting each moment for what it is, we try to hold on to even one instant.
