Actually so, invariable, & not otherwise!

The Blessed
Buddha once said this:
Bhikkhus, there are these four things,
that are actually so, invariable,
not otherwise...
What four?
Suffering
is
actually so, invariable, not otherwise...
The Cause of Suffering is
actually so, invariable, not otherwise...
The End of Suffering
is actually so, invariable, and not otherwise...
The Way to End all Suffering is
actually so, invariable,
and not otherwise...
These
4 Noble
Truths are actually & exactly so, invariable, & not otherwise...
Therefore, Bhikkhus, an effort
should be dedicated now really to understand:
All this
is Suffering!
An effort should be made much
of to
truly comprehend:
Craving is the Cause of Suffering!
An
effort should be brought forth to
realize:
No Craving is the End of Suffering!
Striving
should be made to break through,
reinforce, and develop:
This Noble 8-fold Way, which ceases all Suffering...
