FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
• Sorrow and suffering are part of all life.• People suffer because they desire things
they cannot have.• The way to escape suffering is to end
desire, to stop wanting, and to reach a stage of not wanting.
• To end desire, follow the “middle path,” i.e., the path that avoids the extremes of too much pleasure and desire.
