What are the Four Noble Truths?
When the Buddha taught for the first time after becoming enlightened, he proclaimed four things he knew to be true: the truth of suffering, its causes, its cessation, and the path that leads to true peace. These came to be known as the Four Noble Truths, which appear deceptively simple but require a lifetime of contemplation and meditation in order to experience their profundity.

Why are they important?
