The 4 Noble Facts are:
1. Life has plenty of suffering. The word the Buddha used was most likely more detailed to
Dissatisfaction. That we are never ever really pleased and if we are, it doesn’t
last.
2. This Suffering (dissatisfaction) has a cause. This cause is our attachment
to desires. Now, this does not indicate that having desires is bad. It means that
we must be clever about our desires. We shouldn’t have these hurting
desires to get things like new clothes or the latest cellular phone since when
we get it, we are just delighted for a short while. Then we are discontent
once again. We should desire for things that are useful to others, or that we can
make a positive influence on someone’s life …
3. There is a state in which suffering (dissatisfaction) stops and that stat is
achievable. If we apply ourselves properly to the fourth truth, we can end up being
happy with life simply as it is. We can break the chains that connect us to wide mood
swings and over-reactions. We can deal with individuals kindly and be generous and
be content.
4. There is a path to end suffering. The Buddha set out a path that anyone
can follow. It takes practice to bypass the view of things and how we have
believed throughout our lives however you can arrive from here if you practice
hard enough and with real intent.
