The truths for the spiritually worthy ones: dukkha, samudaya, nirodha and magga

Real World Example

The Four Noble Truths are central teachings of Buddhism, originating in Ancient India around the 5th century BCE and spreading to China by the 1st century CE. They address the nature of suffering (dukkha), its cause (samudaya), the cessation of suffering (nirodha), and the path to end suffering (magga). These truths provided a framework for understanding life's challenges and offered a path to spiritual enlightenment, which was important as people sought meaning and peace amidst life's struggles. Today, the Four Noble Truths remain relevant as they encourage mindfulness and compassion in dealing with personal difficulties. For example, when facing stress from school or family, understanding and accepting the situation (dukkha), recognizing its cause, and finding ways to address it can lead to personal growth and peace.
