What are four noble truths taught by Buddhism?

Answer 1

Yes, Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) taught the four noble truths. These can be summarized as: 1. life entails suffering, 2. craving (attachment) leads to suffering, 3. one can relinquish craving, 4. there is an eightfold path (right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right vocation, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration) that ends suffering.

Answer 2

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

to 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 stat 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.

Answer 3

You don't follow the Four Noble Truths, these concepts that are to be believed, if you are a Buddhist or not. They simply say:

1) The world is filled with suffering and dis-satisfaction.

2) there is a cause for suffering and dis-satisfaction.

3) There is a state you can attained where suffering and dis-satisfaction ends (enlightenment, Nirvana).

4) There is a path to get to this state.

If you are a Buddhist you will try to follow the Eightfold Path to reach enlightenment so that you can end your own suffering.

Answer 4

1. Life means suffering and problems
2. Man made Suffering/problems are caused by people wanting things
3. If we attain Nirvania, we will be free of all suffering and problems
4. If everyone sticks to the 8th fold path, Man made suffering and problems will end.

Answer 6

1. Suffering exists.
2. Craving is the cause of suffering.
3. By eliminating craving, you can eliminate suffering.
4. You can eliminate craving and thereby suffering by following the Noble Eightfold Path.

Answer 7

No the Four Noble Truths are part of Buddhism. The concept behind them is that all people suffer from the pain caused by desire and the remedy id abandoning desire is open to all. This is at odds with the Caste System espoused by the Hindu faith and custom.
