The doctrine of 'four noble truth' expounded by Lord Buddha on his first teaching after his enlightenment.
The four noble truths are:
1. All life is suffering,
2. The cause of suffering is desire
3. There is a way to eradicate the suffering (desire).
4. That is the Eightfold Path.
The answer lies in the third or four noble truths.
The method to eradicate the suffering is intelligence or wisdom. The step is:
* with your intelligence first identify the nature of the suffering, * and then find the cause of this suffering. * and the cause is ignorance, hatred and attachment, identification of independent self, * so with the weapon of one's intelligence one will uproot those defilements and then you attain the last truth and the stage is buddhahood, end of samsara, attainment of moksha or nirvana Answer:

1. Right View: See things fo what they are and realize that many of your wants are imperfect.
