The four noble truths are the logical proof necessary to be liberated from suffering. They establish a definition of suffering and where it comes from. It’s knowing the origin and through the abandonment of those conditions that the suffering is extinguished.

The first Noble Truth states:

Suffering is rebirth, old age, sickness, and death; joining with the unfavored, and separation from the favored; and not getting our wish!

The second Noble Truth says:

Suffering starts with our thirst to delight and relish is sense pleasure, and a craving for this to be or that not to be!

The third Noble Truth is:

The snuffing out of suffering is the complete fading away and stopping of that craving.  Giving up and letting go of the thirst is to be free from it and not need it to be this way or that!

The fourth Noble Truth is:

The method to blow out the suffering along with our craving - the glorious 8 fold path. It is a path so complete that those that know it call it a wheel or a vehicle. It describes skillful view, intention, speech, action, work, effort, mindfulness, meditation!

May you find peace in your practice!
