“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, ariyasaccāni.

What four?

Katamāni cattāri?

The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering.

Dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhasamudayaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ, dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ.

And what is the noble truth of suffering?

Katamañca, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ?

You should say: ‘The six interior sense fields’.

‘Cha ajjhattikāni āyatanānī’tissa vacanīyaṁ.

What six?

Katamāni cha?

The sense fields of the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

Cakkhāyatanaṁ …pe… manāyatanaṁ—

This is called the noble truth of suffering. …”
