-:#The Noble Truth of Suffering; suffering (dukkha) involves birth, aging, illness, death, being with what is displeasing, being separated from what is pleasing, not getting what one wants, and the five aggregates of clinging (pancupādānakkhandhā).
-:#The Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering; the origin of suffering (dukkhasamudayo) is craving (tanhā) or deisre rooted in sensual pleasures, existence, and extermination.
-:#The Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering; the end of suffering (dukkhanirodho) is attainable, and is achieved through the relinquishment of and freedom from craving, clinging, and desire.
