four noble truths

1st Noble Truth
suffering
never due to situation
never due to event
never due to people
not even you

2nd Noble Truth
craving
is the real reason
is the actual cause
is the only ignorance
not at all you

3rd Noble Truth
end of suffering
is not to stop craving
is not to end craving
is not to do away craving
not your doing

4th Noble Truth
path to the end of suffering
merely an introduction
merely a correction
merely a right understanding
not your making

…….

the function of the path
is not
to end suffering.
non-suffering is its effect

the function of the path
is not
to end craving
craving itself is defunct

as such
the path doesn’t change anything
but change occurs

the path doesn’t do away anything
but do away occurs

the path is not a replacement
but a replacement occurs

the path is not a doing
but recognition over ignorance
