/r/FourNobleTruths
A subreddit dedicated to the Four Noble Truths.
Of course, seeing as how the 4th Noble Truth is the Eightfold Path, this subreddit included that as well
FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
FIRST TRUTH
Also
SECOND TRUTH
What causes dukkha comes from - selfish desires, aversion, and delusion.
THIRD TRUTH
These causes may be eliminated - and thus dukkha is ended.
FOURTH TRUTH
The way stop doing these 3 causes and start doing what is wholesome is to follow the Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path is the way to stop Dukkha.
EIGHTFOLD PATH
The eightfold path is not a path followed in sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Rather, it is a set of 8 Right Ways-of-Being which are developed at a rate chosen.
However, having Right View at all times gives the opportunity to always see things in the perspective of "will this bring suffering?", and thus is important for rapid progression
Right View
Right Intention
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Way-of-Living
Right Effort
Right Mindfullness
Right Concentration

Yin-Shun on the Four Noble Truths
Although the doctrines that the Buddha taught to people of different capacities are infinite and boundless, the way of liberation is, in brief, contained within the doctrines of the Four Noble Truths and dependent origination. Apart from these, there is no world-transcending Buddha Dharma.
