	~~Four Truths (~~[[~~bden pa bzhi~~]])		#redirect [[Lamdre]]
	*The four sublime truths (Skt. [[caturāryasatya]]) expounded by Śākyamuni Buddha in the context of the first turning of the wheel of the sacred doctrine comprise: 1) the truth of suffering ([[duḥkhasatya]]) which permeates all cyclic existence; 2) the truth of the cause of suffering ([[samudayasatya]]), identified as fundamental ignorance arising through the twelve links of dependent origination; 3) the truth of the cessation of suffering ([[nirodhasatya]]) consequent on the attainment of nirvāṇa; and 4) the truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering ([[mārgasatya]]) which has eight aspects: correct view, correct thought, correct speech, correct goal of activity, correct livlihood, correct effort, correct mindfulness, and correct meditative stability.
