The Four Noble Truths

1) The Truth of Suffering -Dukahh: There is suffering and impermanence in life for all beings
2) The Truth of the Cause of Suffering - Samudaya: There is a cause for Dukkha, which is attachment and desire (Tanha
) and ignorance.
3) The Truth of the End of Suffering - Nirodha: to end suffering completely, one must remove desire, ill will and ignorance.
4) The Truth of the Path leading to the End of Suffering -Magga: There is a path that leads out of Dukkha. known as the Noble Eightfold Path. It is summarized into three important categories: wisdom (
pañña), virtue (sila), and concentration (samadhi).

Armchair buddhists accomplish little; only actions produce results. Reciting doctrines without actions is no more meaningful than parrots echoing words spoken by others.
