Four noble truths (Skt.,
catvāri-ārya-satyāni. Pāli,
cattari-ariya-saccāni). The foundation of the
Buddha's insight and teaching: (i) the first truth is the recognition of the all-pervasive and universal nature of
dukkha; (ii) the second truth is the recognition of what gives rise to suffering, summarized in the thirst (
taṇhā, Skt.,
tṛṣṇa) for satisfaction in things that necessarily pass away, or for permanence (e.g. a self or soul) in the midst of the transient; (iii) the third truth is that dukkha can nevertheless be brought to cessation, by the eradication of taṇhā, and that this cessation is
nirvāna; (iv) the fourth truth is the summary, in the Eight-fold Path (
aṣṭangika-mārga), of the means to that eradication.
