Suffering is a part of life: Suffering is an unavoidable aspect of life.
The cause of suffering is a desire for material things: The wish to collect riches, jewels, and other worldly objects leads to suffering.
To end of suffering, one must remove all desire and ignorance: Letting go of material wishes and becoming mentally Wrare frees one from suffering.
The way to remove ignorance is to follow the Eightfold Path: One can overcome suffering and attain enlightenment by following a series of steps devised by the Buddha.
