#redirect[[The Four Noble Truths]]
According to [[Siddhartha Gautama]], the founder of [[Buddhism]], to pursue the middle way of life between the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification, one must recognize the Four Noble Truths:
:#human life is an existence of suffering
:#human suffering is caused by desire for things that cannot satisfy the spirit
:#suffering can be ended and humans set free by renouncing these desires, which are rooted in ignorance
:#humans can free themselves of desire by following the [[Eightfold Path]]
