The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism

Buddhism is a religion based on the four noble truths: life is suffering, we suffer because we crave or desire, there is a way out of suffering, and the eightfold path is the way out. Buddhism highlights the three marks of existence, impermanence in Pali pronounced Anika, suffering or unsatisfactoriness in Pali known as Dukkha, and no-self or Anatta. In short, Buddhism seeks to liberate human beings from unnecessary suffering that stems inevitably and inexorably from our constant desiring,. Our ego delusions, and our desperate clinging and attachment to things that by their very nature, change and dissolve away.
