[1691] "Good, good, bhikkhu! It is good indeed, bhikkhu, that you remember the four noble truths (ariyasacca) taught by me. Suffering (dukkha), bhikkhu, is the first noble truth taught by me: bear it in mind thus. The origin of suffering, bhikkhu, is the second noble truth taught by me: bear it in mind thus. The cessation of suffering, bhikkhu, is the third noble truth taught by me: bear it in mind thus. The way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering, bhikkhu, is the fourth noble truth taught by me: bear it in mind thus. It is in this way, bhikkhu, that you should bear in mind the four noble truths taught by me.
Therefore, bhikkhu, an effort should be made [to understand]: 'This is suffering' … an effort should be made [to understand]: 'This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering.'"
