Origins of Buddhism in India These ideas were part of the “Four Noble Truths” When Siddhartha reached enlightenment, he came to the following conclusion: Life is suffering Suffering is caused by selfish desire (attachment) Attachment can be overcome There is a path for achieving this. These ideas are called “The Four Noble Truths”
