Buddha's Complete Philosophy for Sleep with script

The Four Noble Truths

• 1. The truth of suffering (Dukkha)
  Life is inherently unstable and unsatisfying. Even pleasure fades, and beneath ordinary happiness lies a subtle restlessness caused by impermanence and constant change.
• 2. The truth of the cause of suffering (Craving)
  Suffering arises from craving—wanting pleasure, wanting to become someone, or wanting to escape experience. Craving creates clinging, anxiety, and dissatisfaction.
• 3. The truth of the end of suffering (Nirvana)
  When craving fully ends, suffering ends. This is not numbness or withdrawal, but freedom from compulsive grasping and resistance.
• 4. The truth of the path leading to the end of suffering
  There is a practical, testable method for ending suffering through mental training and wise living.
