[1709] Bhikkhus, there are these four noble truths (ariyasaccāni). What four? The noble truth of suffering (dukkhaṃ ariyasaccaṃ), the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering. These, bhikkhus, are the four noble truths. Among these four noble truths, bhikkhus, there is a noble truth to be fully understood; there is a noble truth to be abandoned; there is a noble truth to be realized; there is a noble truth to be developed. And which, bhikkhus, is the noble truth to be fully understood? The noble truth of suffering, bhikkhus, is to be fully understood; the noble truth of the origin of suffering is to be abandoned; the noble truth of the cessation of suffering is to be realized; the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering is to be developed. Therefore, bhikkhus, effort should be made: 'This is suffering' … effort should be made: 'This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering.'
