The First Noble Truth

The first noble truth is that life is filled with pain and suffering. These sufferings are like sicknesses and depression. When Siddhartha left his palace, he was wandering aroud and exploring the real world. He noticed that people were in pain. he came to the conclusion that all people suffer from pain and sickness. This first noble truth is called the Dukkah. The Pali term Dukkah translates to "bad wheel." This bad wheel is the never-ending cycle from birth, life, death, over and over again.
