The Four Noble Truths are the fundamental teachings of the Buddha and are generally thought of as being common to all Buddhist traditions, they comprise:

•Suffering - we suffer because we attach to things that are impermanent

•This suffering has three causes - desire, hatred and delusion also known as attachment, aversion and ignorance.

•We can end our own suffering by ceasing our attachment to impermanent things

•The Buddha presents a way to end suffering through an Eightfold path
