Introduction
• The basis and foundation of the Buddha Dhamma is built upon the four noble truths.
He expounded this message his very first sermon (dhammacakkha pavattana-sutta) to his old colleagues, the five ascetics, at Isipatana (modern Saranath) near Benaras.
“Light arose in me about things not heard before” - Dhammacakka Sutta
Realities of life Look… Around you and see the suffering and miseries
The Fore Noble Truths Cattàri Ariyasaccàni
The fore noble truths are:
1. Dukkha The Truth of Suffering
2. Samudaya The Truth of the Cause of Suffering
3. Nirodha The Truth of the cessation of Suffering
4. Magga The Truth of the way leading to the
cessation of Suffering
The First Noble Truth - Dukkha
This is the nature of our life
Misery Sickness Decay Broken Families Old age Suicides Deaths Sorrow Unsatisfaction Bloodshed
The Second Noble Truth - Samudaya
From craving springs grief
From craving springs fear
For him who is wholly free from craving
There is no grief, whence fear
Suffering does not arise out of chance or without cause. It arises within..
The Third Noble Truth - Nirodha
The abandoning and destruction of desire and craving for these five Aggregates of Attachment and the cessation of Continuity and becoming is Nibbana.
Emancipation, Liberation, Freedom from suffering
The Fourth Noble Truth - Magga
Right Understanding (Samma ditthi)
Right Thought (Samma sankappa)
Right Speech (Samma vaca)
Right Action (Samma kammanta)
Right Livelihood (Samma ajiva)
Right Effort (Samma vayama)
Right Mindfulness (Samma sati)
Right Concentration (Samma samadhi)

Concentration(samadhi)
This is the only way to the purification of beings
conclusion “The craving-freed vanquishes all suffering”
Nothing in this world has ever arisen as great as the Buddhism. Because, it leads us to the understandingly life and compassionate wisdom. The four noble truth is the central and philosophical teaching which has sermonized by the Buddha. It can be applied in solving social, political, economical and religious problems as well. So, Try to manage your life with understanding of noble truth because, no one eternal in this world.
