The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering. Dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhasamudayaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhagāminÄ« paį¹­ipadā ariyasaccaṁ—These four noble truths are real, not unreal, not otherwise. imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri ariyasaccāni tathāni avitathāni anaƱƱathāni; That’s why they’re called ā€˜noble truths’. tasmā ā€˜ariyasaccānī’ti vuccanti.
