The Four Noble Truths of the Buddha paraphrased, state:
1. Suffering is a integral part of Life
2. Suffering is caused by the attachment to Desire
3. Suffering ceases when this attachment to Desire ceases
4. The Eight-fold Path of right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration is the means to the end of Suffering.
