14. THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
1. Life is suffering. 2. Suffering is caused by our desires and greed.
All life is a great wheel of suffering. Suffering can be mental or physical.
The cause of suffering is selfishness and greed. People want more and more and they are never satisfied.
3. There can be an end to suffering and desires.
4. There is a path to Nirvana.
End unhappiness by ending greed and selfishness. With no desire for worldly things, you end the cycle or rebirth and the suffering that comes from it.
The way to the end of suffering is the Eightfold Noble Path and following the Middle Way.

15. WHAT IS THE MIDDLE WAY? This, Buddha said, is the path to Nirvana.
It is the path of living between two extremes.
This means that people should not desire great pleasures, such as strong drink, rich foods, or great luxury.
At the same time, they should not impose great hardships on themselves, such as fasting or other forms of self denial
This, Buddha said, is the path to Nirvana.
