[599] Bhikkhus, this is the noble truth (ariyasacca) of suffering (dukkha): birth (jāti) is suffering; aging (jarā) is suffering; illness is suffering; death (maraṇa) is suffering; association with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get 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, delighting now here, now there; that is to say: craving for sensual pleasures (kāmataṇhā), craving for existence (bhavataṇhā), craving for non-existence (vibhavataṇhā).
Bhikkhus, this is the noble truth of the cessation (nirodha) of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that very 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 to say: right view … right concentration (samādhi).
