Buddha Shakyamuni - Lotus
T h e  F o u r  N o b l e  T r u t h s


All existence is dukkha.
(un-satisfactoriness, suffering).

The cause of dukkha is craving.

The cessation of dukkha comes with the cessation of craving.

There is a path that leads from dukkha.  The Noble eightfold path.





“Fame, position, sensual pleasure, and wealth are like plastic bait.  The fish thinks it is a worm & lunges at it, but the hook inside catches him.  If you get caught in fame, position, sensual pleasure, or wealth, you will lose your freedom.  True happiness lies in solidity, freedom, fearlessness, & love.  Develop these qualities in yourself everyday.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh
Zen master
