What is the Noble Truth of Suffering? Birth is suffering, aging is suffering, sickness is suffering, dissociation from the loved is suffering, not to get what one wants is suffering: in short the five categories affected by clinging are suffering.
This is the First Noble Truth of Suffering: such was the vision, the insight, the wisdom, the knowing and the light that arose in me with regard to things not heard before.
This Noble Truth must be penetrated by fully understanding suffering: such was the vision, the insight, the wisdom, the knowing and the light that arose in me with regard to things not heard before.
This Noble Truth has been penetrated by fully understanding suffering: such was the vision, the insight, the wisdom, the knowing and the light that arose in me with regard to things not heard before.
- Samyutta Nikaya LVI, 11
