Actually so, invariable, & not otherwise!
The Blessed
Buddha
once said this:
Bhikkhus, there are these four things, that are actually so, invariable,
not otherwise... What four?
Suffering is actually so, invariable, not otherwise...
The Cause of Suffering is actually so, invariable, not
otherwise...
The Ending of Suffering is actually so, invariable, and not
otherwise...
The Way to End all Suffering is actually so, invariable, not
otherwise...
These
4 Noble Truths are actually & exactly so, invariable, & not otherwise...
Therefore, Bhikkhus, an effort should be
dedicated now to really understand:
All this
is Suffering! An effort should be
made much of to truly comprehend:
Craving is the Cause of Suffering! An
effort should be cultivated to realize:
No Craving is the End of Suffering! Effort should be made to break
through,
reinforce, and develop:
This Noble 8-fold Way, which ceases all Suffering...
