Buddha says: "I am the Buddha, known as Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. I am here to tell you about the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism. The first turh is life means suffering. In life, we inevitably have to endure suffering such as pain, injury, sickness, and death. The second truth is the origin of suffering is attachment. Our suffering comes from our ignorance. In life, our minds are attached to trivial, unimportant things. Suffering is also due to desire, craving wealth, and striving for fame. The third truth is the cessation of suffering is attainable. This means that suffering can end by disposing of your attachments to the world. In doind so, you will reach Nirvana, which is freedom from all worries and troubles. The fourth truth is there is a path to the cessation of suffering. The path to end suffering is known as the Eightfold Path, which will slowly lead you to the end of the cycle of rebirth."
