## Resource

Dukkhatāsutta SN 45.165, Suffering. Translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi “Bhikkhus, there are these three kinds of suffering. What three? Suffering due to pain, suffering due to formations, suffering due to change. These are the three kinds of suffering. The Noble Eightfold Path is to be developed for direct knowledge of these three kinds of suffering, for the full understanding of them, for their utter destruction, for their abandoning.” “What Noble Eightfold Path? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops right view, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. He develops right intention, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. He develops right speech, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. He develops right action, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. He develops right livelihood, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. He develops right effort, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. He develops right mindfulness, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. He develops right concentration, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release. This Noble Eightfold Path is to be developed for the direct knowledge of these three kinds of suffering, for the full understanding of them, for their utter destruction, for their abandoning.”
