Dhaṁmacakkappavattanasutta

Vinayapiṭaka · Mahāvagga (1) · Vol. 4 · Section 14

[14] Now this, bhikkhus, 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. Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the origin (samudaya) of suffering: it is this craving (taṇhā) which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, delighting now here, now there; that is: craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for non-existence. Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the cessation (nirodha) of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that very craving, its giving up, its relinquishment, release from it, non-reliance upon it. Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the path (magga) leading to the cessation of suffering: it is just this Noble Eightfold Path; that is: right view … right concentration.
