The four noble truths from the Buddhist Doctrines

The basis of Buddhist teaching:

1. Truth of suffering: all existence, in all possible forms is suffering and cannot bring satisfaction as it is impermanent.

2. Truth stating the origin of suffering: desire and craving for permanence, sensual pleasure.

3. Truth on how suffering can be ceased by eliminating the need for craving and desire.

4. Truth of the path that leads to the cessation of suffering by following the Eightfold Path.
