The Four Noble Realities

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.

Noble People of Color

A racial slur that refers to "people of color."

And if his moral weakness can be contrasted with a succession of noble people of color, including a madonna-like illegal Salvadoran immigrant, a lusty black preacher, a "reformed" gang leader and a prejudice-battling Vietnamese Legal Aid attorney, then you have a show that is p.c. to a fault.

Noble Idiot

The one who even after someone cheats on them several times makes fun of them behind their back, and gets their heart broken too many times to count. Will still be at the door with flowers.

Guy1: I banged Tammy
Guy2: Dude, she has a boyfriend
Guy:1 Really? I'm not the only one who banged her, she was pretty hammered. What a noble idiot.
