The four truths are presented within the Buddha's first discourse, Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dharma (Dharmacakra Pravartana Sūtra). An English translation is as follows:[web 4]
- "This is the noble truth of dukkha: birth is dukkha, aging is dukkha, illness is dukkha, death is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair are dukkha; union with what is displeasing is dukkha; separation from what is pleasing is dukkha; not to get what one wants is dukkha; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are dukkha."
- "This is the noble truth of the origin of dukkha: it is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there, that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination."
- "This is the noble truth of the cessation of dukkha: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, nonreliance on it."
- "This is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of dukkha: it is the Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration." These are Universal Truths.

The 1st noble truth is the Noble truth of sorrow. birth is sorrow, and basicly life is sorrow.
2nd is the noble truth of arising of sorrow, basicly sorrow is desire
3rd is the noble truth of the stopping of sorrow, basicly removal of all desire
4th is th noble truth of the way that leads to the stopping of sorrow.
The Four Noble Truths are:
1. Life is full of suffering. The word the Buddha used was probably closer to
Discontentment. That we are never really satisfied and if we are, it doesn't
last.
2. This Suffering (discontentment) has a cause. This cause is our attachment
and desires. Now, this doesn't mean that having desires is bad. It means that
we must be smart about our desires. We shouldn't have these aching
desires to get things like new clothes or the latest cell phone because once
we get it, we are only happy for a short while. Then we are discontent
again. We should desire for things that are helpful to others, or that we can
make a positive impact on someone's life...
3. There is a state in which suffering (discontentment) stops and that state is
attainable. If we apply ourselves correctly to the 4th truth, we can become
happy with life just as it is. We can break the chains that tie us to wide mood
swings and over-reactions. We can treat people kindly and be generous and
be content.
4. There is a path to end suffering. The Buddha laid out a path that anyone
can follow. It takes practice to override the view of things and how we have
thought throughout our lives but you can get there from here if you practice
hard enough and with real intention.
