The Four Noble Truths that the Buddists follow:
1.) Noble truth of unsatisfaction:
-We need to endure pain and sufferings. When we are born into this world, we need to learn to except pain, sicknesses, depression, etc.
2.) Noble truth of arising:
-People are born with large egos and buy lots of material things because they "crave" for them but in the end when they are old it is all worthless.
3.)Noble truth of cessation of suffering:
-People need to not be sucked into the idea of material things (cravings) and need to eliminate them from their lives.
4.)Noble truth of the way
-The eightfold path is the way to go to not allow cravings to happen in your life.

I never knew that Buddhism put such a large emphasis on ridding yourself of the world's desires and cravings and not putting empahsis on material things. That's really interesting.
