Context:   As propositions, the four truths defy an exact definition, but refer to and express the basic orientation of Buddhism: unguarded sensory contact gives rise to craving and clinging to impermanent states and things, which are dukkha, "unsatisfactory," "incapable of satisfying"[web 3] and painful.[note 2] This craving keeps us caught in saṃsāra,[note 5] "wandering", usually interpreted as the endless cycle of repeated rebirth,[note 6] and the continued dukkha that comes with it,[note 7] but also referring to the endless cycle of attraction and rejection that perpetuates the ego-mind.[note 6] There is a way to end this cycle,[note 8] namely by attaining nirvana, cessation of craving, whereafter rebirth and the accompanying dukkha will no longer arise again.[note 9] This can be accomplished by following the eightfold path,[note 3] confining our automatic responses to sensory contact by restraining oneself, cultivating discipline and wholesome states, and practicing mindfulness and dhyana (meditation).
