The Four Noble Truths are the ultimate fundamental beliefs of Buddhism. They examine the human problem, its cause, solution, and the means of applying the solution. The first Noble Truth is that life is suffering; the second is that suffering is caused by cravings and desires. The third Noble Truth is that to get rid of life’s suffering and release from the rebirth cycle, one must do away with all cravings and desires. These principles are essential in Asian cultures because Buddhist teaching was the most important and understood in southern Asia.
