[1665] Bhikkhus, this is the noble truth (ariyasacca) of suffering (dukkha): birth (jāti) is suffering, aging (jarā) is suffering, illness (byādhi) is suffering, death (maraṇa) is suffering; association with what is unloved is suffering; separation from what is loved is suffering; not to obtain what one wishes — that too is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging (pañcupādānakkhandhā) are suffering. Bhikkhus, this is the noble truth of the origin (samudaya) of suffering: it is this craving (taṇhā) that leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight now here, now there; that is: craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for non-existence. Bhikkhus, this is the noble truth of the cessation (nirodha) of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that very same craving — the giving up of it, the relinquishing of it, the release from it, the non-attachment to it. Bhikkhus, this is the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering: it is this very Noble Eightfold Path (magga); that is: right view … right concentration (samādhi).
