- The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path are the basic revelations of the Buddha about life, the universe, and everything. The Truths are four observations about life and suffering that explicitly prompt the Eightfold Path, which lists moral and behavioral ideals to end the root causes of suffering. Together, these form the most basic core of Buddhism, summarized as the "Middle Way" between decadence and aesceticism (self-deprivation and/or abuse).
- The Four Noble Truths appear many times, throughout the most ancient Buddhist texts, the Pali Canon. The early teaching and the traditional understanding in Theravada is that the Four Noble Truths are an advanced teaching for those who are ready for them. Mahayana Buddhism regards them as a preliminary teaching for people not ready for its own teachings.

Mahayana Buddhism regards them as a preliminary teaching for people not ready for its own teachings. Some may see "truths" as a mistranslation (one author cites "realities" as a possibly better choice: these are things, not statements, in the original grammar). However, the original Tibetan Lotsawas (Sanskrit: locchāwa; Tibetan: lo ts'a ba), who studied Sanskrit grammar thoroughly, did translate the term from Sanskrit into Tibetan as "bden pa" which has the full meaning of "truth".
