The Discourse on the True
1090.
"Monks, there are these four things that are true, unerring, not otherwise.
What are the four?
'This is suffering', monks - this is true, this is unerring, this is not otherwise;
'This is the origin of suffering' - this is true, this is unerring, this is not otherwise;
'This is the cessation of suffering' - this is true, this is unerring, this is not otherwise;
'This is the practice leading to the cessation of suffering' - this is true, this is unerring, this is not otherwise -
these, monks, are the four things that are true, unerring, not otherwise.
"Therefore, monks, exertion is to be done regarding 'This is suffering', etc. exertion is to be done regarding 'This is the practice leading to the cessation of suffering.'" The tenth.
