1“Mendicants, whatever ascetics and brahmins — past, future, or present — reveal that they are awakened, all of them reveal that they truly awakened to the four noble truths.

2What four? The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering. …

3That’s why you should practice meditation …”
