Saṁyutta Nikāya — Discursos Conectados — 56.21 — At the Village of Koṭi (1st)

1At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Vajjis at the village of Koṭi. There the Buddha addressed the mendicants: “Mendicants, due to not understanding and not penetrating four noble truths, both you and I have wandered and transmigrated for such a very long time.

2What four? The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering. These noble truths of suffering, origin, cessation, and the path have been understood and comprehended. Craving for continued existence has been cut off; the leash to existence is ended; now there’ll be no more future lives.”

3That is what the Buddha said. Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:

4“Because of not truly seeing
the four noble truths,
we have transmigrated for a long time
from one rebirth to the next.

5But now that these truths have been seen,
the leash to existence is eradicated.
The root of suffering is cut off,
now there’ll be no more future lives.”
