Tarchin Hearn on the Four Noble Truths: The Buddha saw that wherever there are formations, be they physical or mental, there will be unavoidable unsatisfactoriness or suffering (dukkha). Everything lives by eating. Everything is eaten. All things wear out. Collision produces friction. This is the First Noble Truth. He came to see the fundamental causes of dukkha, namely, clinging or grasping, coupled with partial views. This is the Second Noble Truth. Through the very act of bringing a profound degree of friendly enquiry to every moment of experience, he came to realise the cessation of suffering. This is the Third Noble Truth. On reflection, he then clearly understood the path to the cessation of suffering. He described this as the Eight Fold Noble Path. This is the Fourth Noble Truth. aucklandsphere.org/satipatthana-foundations-mindfulness/
