Noble Truth

The Noble Truths have clear implications to the way we live our lives, and the concept of suffering as expressed within Buddhist teaching can easily relate to the current fiscal sitution the western nations (primarily) find themselves in.  Blinded by the desire for more we were unable to see the consequences of our actions and now were are all suffering the results of this desire; to overcome this suffering we need to simplify our lives, in Buddhism this will be by following the Eightfold Path through Wisdom, Morality and Mental Discipline.
