Regarding Buddha's Four Noble Truths, which of the following statements does NOT apply correctly?
ADukkha, dissatisfaction with existence in the phenomenal world
BThe origination of dukkha in craving or desire
CThe cessation of dukkha
DThe way to that cessation by following the Fourfold Path ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) The way to that cessation by following the Fourfold Path
Explanation
The statement that names a "Fourfold Path" does not apply correctly.
The first three truths are dukkha, its origin in craving, and its cessation.
The fourth truth is the path leading to that cessation.
That path is the Noble Eightfold Path, having eight limbs, not four.
Calling it a Fourfold Path misstates the fourth noble truth.
