The Third Noble Truth is Nirodha, which means the end of suffering. The Buddha taught that there is an end to suffering and that this can be obtained through the right effort and through the right actions.

Nirodha is linked to the concept of nibbana. Nibbana is a challenging concept to explain. However, the Buddha taught it in two different ways.

• Nibbana with remainder - when a Buddhist comes to realise and understand nibbana during their life, their mind and their heart have reached nibanna. However, the physical body remains on Earth (ie the person is still alive).
• Nibbana without remainder - this happens when a Buddhist dies. The heart, mind and body have all now achieved nibbana. In doing this, they escape the cycle of samsara, which is the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth.

Buddhists engage in meditation to end their cravings and become more aware of what they are. This allows them to make changes in their lives to stop feeling cravings. It is important to note that the Buddha taught that people can attain nibbana in their life and in death.
