The Dhamma, the Buddha’s teachings, should be approached with the right intention as a path to enlightenment, not as a creed or intellectual exercise. It serves as a guide, like road signs, leading from ignorance to wisdom. The Dhamma, arising from the Buddha’s awakening, encapsulates the truth inherent in our experiences and requires a journey of self-discovery.
The Four Noble Truths, the foundation of the Dhamma, revolve around the concept of dukkha, or suffering. Dukkha encompasses not only physical pain but also the unsatisfactoriness inherent in all existence due to impermanence and craving.
The Buddha outlined three distinct types of Dukkha: occasional dukkha (birth, aging, sickness, death), frequent dukkha (union with the unpleasant, separation from the pleasant, and not getting what one wants), and constant dukkha (implying that all experiences of the mind-body phenomenon - the five aggregates subject to clinging - are inherently suffering due to their impermanence, constant change and lack of an inner core or substance). The Four Noble Truths provide a roadmap to transcend suffering and attain enlightenment.
