"'Suffering, suffering', friend Sāriputta, is said.
What, friend, is suffering?"
"There are these three kinds of suffering, friend.
Suffering as suffering, suffering due to activities, suffering due to change -
these, friend, are the three kinds of suffering."
"But is there, friend, a path, is there a practice for the full understanding of these kinds of suffering?"
"There is indeed, friend, a path, there is a practice for the full understanding of these kinds of suffering."
"But what, friend, is the path, what is the practice for the full understanding of these kinds of suffering?"
"Just this noble eightfold path, friend, is for the full understanding of these kinds of suffering, as follows -
right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
This, friend, is the path, this is the practice for the full understanding of these kinds of suffering."
"Excellent, friend, is the path, excellent is the practice for the full understanding of these kinds of suffering.
And it is enough, friend Sāriputta, for diligence."
