The Four Noble Truths, in more detail.

1.

Dissatisfaction implies that

we naturally know something.

It’s innate.

2.

We know there is a cause

but are confused about what this is.

We know we are holding onto a mistaken view.

This is the cause of our dissatisfaction.

3.

Knowing we are not clear, we seek clarity.

We need a complete system

to dissolve the obscurations

to that clarity.

4.

When we are convinced, through testing,

that the system is sound,

we resolve to never give up.
