The Four Noble Truths Thus
has it been said by the Buddha, the Enlightened One: It is through not
understanding, not realizing four things, that I, Disciples, as well as
you, have to wander so long through this round of rebirths. And what are
these four things?
They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble
Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Extinction of
Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Path that leads to the Extinction of
Suffering. [S. lvi, II]
