Expert Answer
The four noble truths of Buddhism are as follows:
- The world is full of suffering.
- The cause of all suffering is human desire.
- Suffering can be ended by overcoming one’s desires.
- Desires can be overcome and freedom from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth can be attained by achieving the state of nirvana. The eightfold path, prescribed by Gautam Buddha, ultimately leads to nirvana.
