The Four Noble Truths

Often considered the Buddha's first teachings, the Four Noble Truths are the foundation of Buddhism.

The existence of dukkha (suffering) in the realm of samsara (means both "world" as well as "the cycle of death and rebirth").

The origin of suffering (dukkha) is taṇhā (craving, desire, attachment, or greed).

There is an end to suffering. Nirodha (cessation or ending) of dukkha can be accomplished by letting go of or confining attachment (taṇhā).

Magga (The Noble Eightfold Path) is a way of confining taṇhā and therefore releasing dukkha. The next post will cover The Noble Eightfold Path in great detail.

To summarize, unchecked sensory contact gives rise to dukkha, craving, or clinging to impermanent states and things. Most cravings cannot be satisfied or attachments are impermanent, and this causes pain or suffering. This craving leaves us trapped in samsara, the endless cycle of rebirth and wanting, leading to further dukkha. Following the Noble Eightfold Path, meditation (dhyana), and practicing mindfulness can help us confine our automatic sensory responses, and ultimately help to reach nirvana, the cessation of craving and ending the cycle of rebirth that brings about dukkha.

"Fear, it has been said, is the recollection of pain endured, a peculiar form of memory inscribed on the mind like a wound that will not heal. Desire, too, is a form of memory: the memory of pleasure. But desire wanders free, homeless and incorporeal, a hungry ghost forever reaching out to eat, perpetually searching for a way back into the flesh."

- C.W. Huntington, Jr., from Maya: A Novel, 2015.
