Life is a suffering
embodied in the
Four Noble Truths:
Old age, illness, and death;
dislikes, separation, and failures,
For these we suffer.
The desire for pleasure,
the desire for power,
the desire for being,
For these we suffer.
Separate yourself
from desire;
destroy it completely,
then you shall not suffer.
The fourth Noble Truth:
to conquer desire,
you must follow
The Eightfold Path.
Right belief, right resolve,
right speech, right behavior,
right effort, right occupation,
right contemplation,
right concentration.
This path will lead you
to perfect peace.
Perfect peace
free from desire,
free from suffering,
detached from life.
