The 4 noble truths Straight from the Buddha’s mouth:
1. Dukkha: The purpose of life is to suffer. We suffer in this life for the sins in our past life.
2. Samudaya: Sin is being attached to this world (Universe)which taught by Buddhism to be an illusion.
3. Nirodha: The way to end suffering (Stop being reincarnated) is to give up everything (All reality is an illusion this is why the Buddha’s eyes are always closed there is nothing worth seeing)
4.Magga: The use of meditation and self-denial is the means to enlightenment and the way to overcome the wheel of Samsara. The mantra brings the individual to perfect nothingness. No personality, no knowing, now pain no good or evil. When the Buddha talks of joining with nothingness he meant a vacuum, a complete and total void.

It is a depressing philosophy and totally fatalistic. Buddhist appear calm because literally nothing is worth more than something

This is the basic teaching of Buddhism.

By the way: Reincarnation, as described in the Buddhist text, is logically, metaphysically and mathematically impossible.

I don’t know where you got those definitions of the Four Noble Truths but they are all complete bull schiff.

That's funny. What you posted, supposedly a direct quote from the Buddha, only appears in exactly two Google search results, both of which are your posting on Free Republic.

So we are supposed to believe that even though the Buddha's teachings are followed by more than 1 Billion people, and have been published continuously since before the birth of Christ, that you are the first person to have posted them on the internet.

LOL, you win the award for most foolish post of the day.
