A Short Message About The Eightfold Noble Path
Many people think that the Noble Eightfold Path (Ariya Aṭṭhaṅgika Magga) and the Four Noble Truths (Cattāri Ariya Saccāni) are different.
However, the Noble Eightfold Path is actually the Fourth Noble Truth (Magga Sacca) among the Four Noble Truths.
The Four Noble Truths
- Dukkha Sacca — The Truth of Suffering
- Samudaya Sacca — The Truth of the Cause of Suffering
- Nirodha Sacca — The Truth of the Ending of Suffering
- Magga Sacca — The Truth of the Way Leading Out of Suffering (The Noble Eightfold Path)
Summary Poem
Some think the Truths and the Path are not the same,
Because they don’t know all four by each name.
Suffering is the first, while the cause is number two,
The third is its ending, the fourth — a Path to do.
