The Truths are:
• Life’s a bitch.
• The reason life’s a bitch is that people are attached to material things.
• Life doesn’t always have to be a bitch. You can achieve nirvana.
• The way to achieve nirvana is by following the eightfold path.

The Eightfold Path, which consists of:
• Right views, i.e., smarten up.
• Right intentions. Once you’re smart, try to do the right thing.
• Right speech. Say the right thing.
• Right action. Knowing and saying the right thing isn’t good enough, you have to actually do the right thing.
• Right livelihood. Make your living in an honorable way, i.e., don’t work for Halliburton.
• Right effort. All of the above doesn’t just happen on its own. You have to work at it.
• Right mindfulness. Once you’ve beaten your physical self into submission, you have to start working on your mental state, seeking the ability to think clearly and see things as they really are.
• Right concentration. Focus, focus, focus! The path is only complete when you have refined your mind into a state of total focus on reality, which is generally thought to be accomplished by the process of meditation.
