Extracted from the website of Buddhist Vajrayana Charity Funds Association and translated (四諦) into English:

The Four Noble Truth

1. The Four Noble Truths
  - Truth: absolute truth. The Four Noble Truths: the four types of true principles.
  - 【The Mahaprajna-parinirvana Sutra】, Volume 15:
  In the past, we did not realise the Four Noble Truths, and kept transmigrating in samsara, within the vast and miserable ocean of life and death; if we can realise the Four Noble Truths, then we can break the cycle of life and death.”
  - The four noble truths explain the transmigration of life and death and the true principle of how we can free ourselves from life and death.
