“Mendicants, there are these four noble truths. What four? The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering. These four noble truths are real, not unreal, not otherwise.
PL
“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, ariyasaccāni. Katamāni cattāri? Dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhasamudayaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ— imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri ariyasaccāni tathāni avitathāni anaññathāni;
EN
That’s why they’re called ‘noble truths’. That’s why you should practice meditation …”
PL
tasmā ‘ariyasaccānī’ti vuccanti. Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti. Sattamaṁ.
