What is always
& inevitably a sour source of Suffering?
The Blessed
Buddha once said this:
Bhikkhus & Friends there are these
Four Noble Truths.
What four?
The Noble Truth of Suffering;
The Noble Truth on the Cause of Suffering;
The Noble Truth on the End of Suffering;
The Noble Truth on the Way to end Suffering...
These
are the
Four Noble Truths!
What,
Bhikkhus & Friends, is the 1st
Noble Truth of Suffering?
These
Six Sources
of Sensing are Suffering!
The sense source of the eye is Suffering...
The
sense source of the ear
is Suffering...
The
sense source of the nose is Suffering...
The sense source of the tongue is
Suffering...
The
sense source of the body
is Suffering...
The
sense source of the mind itself
is Suffering...
This is thus verily
the 1st
Noble Truth of Suffering!
