The Four Noble Truths
(As translated by me)
The First Noble
Truth
Unsatisfactoriness and suffering exist and are universally
experienced.
Translation: the world, for the most part, has a tendency to become a big suck
The Second
Noble Truth
Desire and attachment are the causes of unsatisfactoriness and
suffering.
Translation: By concentrating too much on yourself, others, and your place, you make your life difficult and painful.
The Third Noble
Truth
There is an end to unsatisfactoriness and suffering.
Translation: But you can do something about it.
The Fourth
Noble Truth
The end can be attained by journeying on the Noble Eightfold Path.
Translation: Following the Noble Eightfold Path can stop unsatisfactoriness, suffering, and the tendency for this world to be a big suck.
Ok, so what's next? The Noble Eightfold Path is where you want to look next.
