Wink The Four Noble Truths

First Noble Truth: Everything is suffering, dissatisfied. Momentary states are impermanent. The world is constantly changing and nothing remains the same.
Most prophetic here:


Second Noble Truth: The cause of suffering is desire or craving. People suffer because they don't have what they want and the lack of that thing causes suffering:


Third Noble Truth: The way to cease to overcome suffering is to cease desiring-To let go of attachment to the ego and to the things of the world


Fourth Noble Truth: The eightfold path that leads to the cessation of desire and the attainment of nirvana
