"This is not mine, not me, not myself."
                           --MN 62: Advice to Rahula

The Buddhist Four Noble Truths:
1. Suffering underlies all experience.
2. The origin of suffering is desire.
3. The end of suffering follows on the fading of desire.
4. The way is by self restraint, concentration and wisdom.
