The Way
苦集灭道 (ku ji mie dao)
All life is suffering (suffering = 苦 ku)
The cause of suffering is desire (desire = 集 ji)
Emancipation comes only from eliminating passions (eliminate = 灭 mie)
The Way to Emancipation is the Noble Eight-fold Way (The Way = 道 dao)
put them all together to get "suffering, desire, elimination, The Way" = "苦集灭道"
