The first truth, which states that everyone experiences suffering in some way The second truth, which states that all suffering comes from desire The third truth, which states that it is possible to stop suffering and achieve enlightenment The fourth truth, which describes the Middle Way and the steps to achieve enlightenmentBuddhists believe that suffering is caused by:
- Impermanence: Life is constantly changing, and no moment is reliable
- Desire: People crave or grasp for things, but they are never enough and never last
