We might like to renumber the Four Noble Truths, as follows, for the benefit of the people of our time: (1) Well-Being (traditionally number three, “cessation of suffering”); (2) Noble Eightfold Path That Leads to Well-Being (traditionally number four); (3) Suffering (traditionally number one); and (4) Ignoble Eightfold Path That Leads to Suffering (traditionally number two, “arising of suffering”).
