The noble truths are the heart of Buddhism. Buddhism rely and continue on the four noble truths.
- Sad to say, suffering and unhappiness are part of life. No one can escape it.

- Unhappiness and suffering come from our desires. Without desires, we would all be grateful and there would be no suffering.

- Some people could over come desire and greed to reach nirvana, which is a state of perfect peace. Reaching nirvana frees the soul suffering and from the need for further reincarnation.

- People can overcome ignorance and desire by following an eight fold path that leads to enlightenment, and salvation.

-Eventually disagreements between Buddhists made them split into 2 groups
-2 major branches were created: Theravada and Mahayana
-Theravada tried to follow Buddha's teachings exactly
-Mahayana Buddhists believed that other people could interpret Buddha's teachings differently
-Today the branches both have millions or followers, but Mahayana has more people by a long shot
