Four Noble Truths
In Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths are “the truths of the Noble Ones”, the truths or realities for the “spiritually worthy ones”.
The truths are:
dukkha (literally “suffering”; here “unsatisfactoriness”) is an innate characteristic of existence in the realm of samsara;
samudaya (origin, arising, combination;‘cause’): dukkha arises or continues with tanhā (“craving, desire or attachment, lit.“thirst”). tanhā is traditionally interpreted in western languages as the ‘cause’ of dukkha , tanha can also be seen as the factor tying us to dukkha, or as a response to dukkha, trying to escape it;
