In Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths are "the truths of the Noble Ones", the truths or realities for the "spiritually worthy ones".

The truths are:

1. dukkha (suffering, incapable of satisfying, painful) is an innate characteristic of existence in the realm of samsara.

2. samudaya (origin, arising) of this dukkha, which arises or "comes together" with taṇhā ("craving, desire or attachment")

3. nirodha (cessation, ending) of this dukkha can be attained by the renouncement or letting go of this taṇhā

4. magga (path, Noble Eightfold Path) is the path leading to renouncement of tanha and cessation of dukkha.
