Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Four Noble Truths are the foundation of Buddhist teachings, and they state that (1) suffering exists, (2) suffering arises from craving and attachment, (3) suffering ceases when craving and attachment cease, and (4) the way to the cessation of suffering is through the Noble Eightfold Path. Therefore, the cause of suffering is desire (option B) and it is not possible to lead life without any desires (option A) as desires are a natural part of human existence. Addiction to life does not lead to satisfaction (option C) as attachment to worldly things is seen as a cause of suffering. Finally, while following the Noble Eightfold Path is the way to the cessation of suffering, Nirvana is not caused by it (option D) but rather achieved through it. The Four Noble Truths are a central concept in Buddhist teachings. According to these truths, the cause of suffering is desire (tanha). The cessation of desire leads to the end of suffering, which is the state of Nirvana. The Noble Eightfold Path is the means to achieve this state of enlightenment, but it is not the cause of Nirvana. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
