佛教教義。意謂真理或實在。主要有四谛、二谛、叁谛等不同說法。
四谛 1、苦谛。苦是受逼迫苦惱之意，主要指叁界生死輪回的苦惱。有叁苦、八苦的不同。叁苦，一爲苦苦，指正在受痛苦時的苦惱；二爲壞苦，是享受快樂結束時的苦惱；叁爲行苦，謂不苦不樂時，爲無常變化的自然規律所支配的苦惱，包括生、老、病、死在內。八苦即生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、求不得苦、怨憎會苦、愛別離苦、五陰盛苦。佛教認爲，叁苦、八苦有的是社會原因造成的，有的是自然原因造成的。
2、集谛。亦名習谛。集是積聚感招之意。說一切衆生，常時以來，由于貪瞋愚癡的行動，造成的善惡行爲的業因，能感招將來的生死苦果。
3、滅谛。亦名盡谛，爲息滅、滅盡之意，滅盡叁界內之煩惱業因以及生死果報，稱爲滅，也稱了脫生死，從此不再受叁界內的生死苦惱，達到涅槃寂滅境界，即爲解脫。
4、道谛。道爲通達之意，也是道路的意思。這種道路是達到寂滅解脫的方法和手段；原始佛教認爲道谛是指八正道。以後大、小乘又各有發展。佛教認爲依道谛去修行，就能達到寂滅解脫的滅谛。由此途徑確實可以達到解脫生死的目的。
二谛 即真谛和俗谛。又稱第一義谛、世俗谛，或名勝義谛與名言谛。真俗二谛，中觀派的基本思想是緣起性空論，認爲世間出世間萬事萬物，都是由衆多因素相依相持而形成的，是有，稱假有，這就是世俗谛，沒有獨立不變的自性，是空，稱性空，這就是真谛，所以真俗二谛，就是空、有二谛。這是就外在的物境而言。若以主觀認識而論，謂世俗谛是有，這是世間一般人的常識見解；言真谛爲空是二乘聖者特有的超世見解。實際上，說有不住有，談空不落空，空有無礙，才是真俗二谛的正觀。又世俗谛的有，是世間萬事萬物的現象；真谛的空，是世間萬事萬物的本性。緣起才能性空，性空才能緣起，緣起與性空實際是一種事物的兩個方面，相反相成，對立而統一。所以緣起就是性空，性空就是緣起。如《般若經》中說：色即是空，空即是色，不二而二，二而不二。大乘佛教各宗，因爲傳承或立論方法不同，對二谛的解釋也各不相同。有的認爲二谛是理，有的認爲二谛是教。天臺宗認爲二谛或叁谛是真實不虛的谛理，故雲：“叁谛者，天然之性德也。”叁論宗認爲真俗二谛是兩種真實不虛的言教：“二谛者，蓋是言教之通诠，相待之假稱……唯是教門，不關境理。”
叁谛 即空谛、假谛、中道谛。佛教天臺宗所立的谛理。認爲一切事物都由因緣而生，沒有永恒不變的實體，叫做空谛；一切事物其中雖無永恒不變的實體，卻有如幻如化的相貌，叫做假谛；這些都不出法性，不待造作而有，叫做中道谛。一切事物，皆不出此空、假、中叁谛的範疇，故稱爲叁谛之理。《始終心要》說：“叁谛者，天然之性德也，中谛者統一切法，真谛者泯一切法，假谛者立一切法。”又此叁谛，圓融無礙，一即是叁，叁即是一。如觀空時，無假無中無不空；觀假時，無空無中無不假；觀中道時，無空無假無不中，名爲圓融叁谛。《中觀論·四谛品》說：“因緣所生法，我說即是空，亦爲是假名，亦是中道義”。此偈被認爲是圓融叁谛的出處。（劉峰）
Hui
又稱增上慧學，亦即智慧。慧就是有厭、無欲、見真。擯除一切欲望和煩惱，專思四谛、十二因緣，以窺見法，獲得智慧解脫。

These 4 unthinkables are:
the sphere of a Buddha (buddha-visaya),
of the meditative absorptions (jha^na-visaya),
of karma-result (kamma-vipa^ka), and
brooding over the world (loka-cinta^), especially over an absolute first beginning of it
(s. A.IV.77).
"Therefore, o monks, do not brood over the world as to whether it is eternal or temporal, limited or endless .... Such brooding, O monks, is senseless, has nothing to do with genuine pure conduct (s. a^dibrahmacariyaka-si^la), does not lead to aversion, detachment, extinction, nor to peace, to full comprehension, enlightenment and Nibba^na, etc." (S.56.41).
