Maha Satipatthana Sutta   Translated by U Jotika and U Dhamminda


IV. Dhammanupassana

v. Sacca Pabba (Section on Noble Truths)

And again, a bhikkhu dwells perceiving again and again the Four Noble Truths as just the Four Noble Truths, not mine, not I, not self, but just as phenomena.

And how does a bhikkhu dwell perceiving again and again the Four Noble Truths as just the Four Noble Truths?

Here, a bhikkhu knows as it really is, “This is dukkha”;

he knows as it really is,“This is the cause of dukkha”;

he knows as it really is, “This is the cessation of dukkha”;

he knows as it really is, “This is the path leading to the cessation of dukkha.”
