The Four Noble Truths

 

The Four Noble Truths or the Four Realities were taught by Buddha Shakyamuni as the central theme of the first turning of the wheel of the Dharma after his attainment of enlightenment. They are:

  • The truth (or reality) of suffering which is to be understood.
  • The truth (or reality) of the origin of suffering which is to be abandoned.
  • The truth (or reality) of cessation which is to be actualized.
  • The truth (or reality) of the path which is to be relied upon.

 

Cause & Effect

The four truths can be divided into two pairs of cause and effect, known as the cause and effect of ‘thorough affliction’ or samsara, and the cause and effect of ‘complete purification’ or nirvana.
