...I'm unhappy with my version of the fourth truth. It contains too much interpretation. In the original Buddha is recommending the Eightfold Way- by which he means "right thinking", "right action" etc- without defining what he means by "right".

So here's a second version:

1  Life is hard

2  Because we're always wanting things.

3  Stop wanting things.

4  Lead a good life.

I have been told by both Buddhists and Jains that the movie "Little Buddha" is a good introduction into the tradition.

Yes- that's what I'm remembering.
