🌿 The Four Noble Truths — The Foundation of Awakening

In his first teaching at Deer Park in Sarnath, the Buddha revealed the Four Noble Truths (Cattāri Ariyasaccāni) — the essence of all Dharma and the doorway to liberation.
	1.	Dukkha – There is suffering: birth, aging, sickness, death, separation, unsatisfied longing…
	2.	Samudaya – Suffering arises from craving, attachment, and ignorance.
	3.	Nirodha – Suffering can cease. Nirvāṇa is possible.
	4.	Magga – There is a path to that cessation: the Noble Eightfold Path.

🪷 Why it still matters:

These truths are not dogma — they are an invitation to look deeply.
Even in today’s world of speed, data, and distraction, we still face suffering — just in more digitized forms.
And the path to peace still begins where it always did: with presence, awareness, and letting go.

“Just as the footprints of all animals fit within the footprint of the elephant,
the Four Noble Truths encompass all true teachings.”
