Abstract

‘The Four Noble Truths’ investigates these central tenets of the Buddha's teachings. The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to end suffering and rebirth by attaining nirvana. This is partially through leading a moral life, and partially through the wisdom gained by studying the Four Noble Truths. The Truth of Suffering states that suffering is an intrinsic part of life. The Truth of Arising locates the cause of this suffering in craving. The Truth of Cessation explains that removing craving will remove suffering. The Truth of the Path outlines the way to achieve nirvana — by following the Buddha down the Eightfold Path.
