The Four Noble Truths are key teachings of the Gautama Buddha, the traditional founder of Buddhism. The Four Noble Truths relate to the nature of suffering, and claim that one needs to cast off desires to avoid suffering. Jasminder Choudhury cited these to explain her success in poker, an idea which Captain Picard found curious. (TNG novel: Greater Than the Sum)
