The Discourse on What Should Be Fully Known

Koṭigāmavagga Pariññeyyasutta “Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, ariyasaccāni.

Disciples, there are these four noble truths.

Katamāni cattāri?

What four?

Dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhasamudayaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ— imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri ariyasaccāni.

The noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering: these are the four noble truths.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ ariyasaccānaṁ atthi ariyasaccaṁ pariññeyyaṁ, atthi ariyasaccaṁ pahātabbaṁ, atthi ariyasaccaṁ sacchikātabbaṁ, atthi ariyasaccaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ.

Of these four noble truths, there is a noble truth that should be fully known, a noble truth that should be abandoned, a noble truth that should be realized, a noble truth that should be developed.

Katamañca, bhikkhave, ariyasaccaṁ pariññeyyaṁ?

And what is the noble truth that should be fully known?

Dukkhaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasaccaṁ pariññeyyaṁ, dukkhasamudayaṁ ariyasaccaṁ pahātabbaṁ, dukkhanirodhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ sacchikātabbaṁ, dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ.

The noble truth of suffering should be fully known; the noble truth of the origin of suffering should be abandoned; the noble truth of the cessation of suffering should be realized; the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering should be developed.

Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe…

Therefore This is suffering is a task to be done …

‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti. Navamaṁ.

This is the path leading to the cessation of suffering is a task to be done.
