The Four Noble TruthsThe Four Noble Truths
1. To live is to suffer– Life in this world (samsara) is full
throughout with dissatisfaction, etc. (dukkha)
– Experience of things not being quite right, “out of joint”, in need of repair
– ALL living is dukkha, whether pleasant or unpleasant… Why?
– Dukkha, therefore, is unavoidable
![Page 35: Buddhism: The Call to Awaken](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013108/568130ea550346895d9706d9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Four Noble TruthsThe Four Noble Truths
1. To live is to suffer(dukkha).2. Suffering is caused by
desire(tanha).– Karma/cause and effect logic– Tanha= craving, greed, lust,
hunger, thirst, selfishness– Like dukkha, tanha is
unavoidable… the “self” simply will crave for itself

who desires… the self– I AM I WANT I SUFFER
