[1711] When this was said, the Venerable Gavampati the Elder said this to the bhikkhus: "Friends, this I have heard in the presence of the Blessed One, received in his presence: 'Bhikkhus, one who sees suffering (dukkha) also sees the origin of suffering, also sees the cessation of suffering, also sees the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering. One who sees the origin of suffering also sees suffering, also sees the cessation of suffering, also sees the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering. One who sees the cessation of suffering also sees suffering, also sees the origin of suffering, also sees the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering. One who sees the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering also sees suffering, also sees the origin of suffering, also sees the cessation of suffering.'" The Koṭigāma Chapter, the third. Its summary (uddāna): Two on the Vajjians, the Perfectly Awakened One, the Arahant, the destruction of the taints (āsava), a friend, and likewise the true, and the world, what is to be directly known, and Gavampati. ______________ The Sīsapāpaṇṇa Chapter, the fourth.
