The Four Noble Truths are one of the central teachings of the Buddhist tradition. The teachings on the four noble truths explain the nature of dukkha ("suffering", "anxiety", "stress", "dissatisfaction"), its causes, the possibility of its cessation and how it can be overcome. The four truths are presented within the Buddha's first discourse, Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dharma (Dharmacakra Pravartana Sutra).
