The Four Noble Realities summarise the Buddhist teachings. They are usually called the Four Noble Truths. But calling them 'Realities' not 'Truths' is better English. (For example, "1+2=3" is a TRUTH; but "1," "2," and "3" are REALITIES).
The Four Realities are considered Noble because, if practised correctly, they lead to Enlightenment. They are:
1) Suffering
2) Cause of Suffering
3) End of Suffering
4) Path leading to the End of Suffering.
The Four Realities should be regarded in the following way:
1) Suffering "must be understood."
2) The cause of Suffering "must be abandoned."
3) The end of Suffering "must be realised."
4) The Eightfold Path "must be practised."
The cause of Suffering is Craving and Attachment.
The Eightfold Path begins with the practice of virtue.

Practise the Four Noble Realities for the sake of enlightenment.
Don't just talk about the Four Noble Realities: practise them!
The reason people suffer? They don't practise the Four Noble Realities.
Why do we suffer? Because of craving and attachment. Because we are unvirtuous. Because we don't practise the Eightfold Path.

Get the Racistic mug.Proper Noun - this is the proper name/classification of what poeple have called/classified a person who does not belive in a God or Gods as an Atheist/Atheism. Since Atheism is considered to be a "religious fellowship," this completely contradicts the very purpose of a Secular Realist. A Secular Realist or Secular Realism is a person/classification in which evidentual facts supporting theories and ideas hold more improtance and impact on their life far greater than any belief system in a God/Gods. Secular Realist/Secular Realism charges Theism/Religion to the rules and regulations of the scientific method and merit it to have no factual supporting evidence. This finds a Secular Realist confounded as to how someone could belive in the unexplained by non answers accroding to a logical system of testing and questions that is not only highly accepted, but highly supported by even religious communities, Secular Realists call it the Scientific Method.
"seriously people, stop calling me an Atheist. I am a Secular Realist, and no it is not a religion nor is it an anti religion!"
"Secular Realists do not believe in Intelligent Design."
"Because i am a Secular Realist i tend to trust scientific theories over having faith."
