See below (and I hope you enjoy learning about Buddhism!):

Explanation:

The Four Noble Truths (with very brief explanations) are:

  • The Truth of Suffering

Essentially, there is Suffering in the world

  • The Truth of the Cause of Suffering

Understanding that people create their own suffering

  • The Truth of the End of Suffering

Understanding that there is a way to end the cycle of creating our own suffering

  • The Truth of the Path that leads to the End of Suffering

Understanding that there are tools to help end the cycle of creating suffering, but that in the end, those tools lead you to realize that you never had to suffer in the first place
