Four Noble Truths

The four noble truths in Buddhism are key insights that define the very orientation of Buddhist practice. The Buddha realized the four noble truths when he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. At his first sermon, he identified the truth of suffering, the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the end to suffering, and the truth of the eightfold path.
