The four noble truths:

1. The truth of suffering (dukkha). All beings suffer, and life in general is ultimately found to be unsatisfactory, because of impermanence.

2. The cause of suffering is desire and attachment.

3. The cessation (nirodha) of suffering can be attained.

4. There is a path (marga) to the cessation of suffering.

Buddhists mainly believe in achieving enlightenment like the Buddha (their leader)

That's why they meditate

Actually Meditation is only a fraction of the key tenets of Buddhism.

Buddhists beleive that there is a state which can be attained (nirvana) in which ignorance, wrong desires and suffering is extinguished.

To reach nirvana a person must become enlightened. Enlightenment is a condition in which a person fully understands how the world actually works instead of how we perceive it to work. These were laid out by the Buddha in the Four Noble Truths, which are:

1) There is suffering in the world

2) There is a cause for this suffering (attachment to wrong desires and ignorance).

3) There is a state which can be attained where suffering ends (enlightenment).

4) There is a path you can take to end suffering (The Eight Fold Path).

Enlightenment can be reached by anyone who is willing to make the effort. The Buddha laid out a path, called the Eight Fold Path (which is a little too long to describe here). This path guides us to enlightenment and Nirvana. This is what Buddhists believe.
