The Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering

In my last post I talked about the first so-called "noble truth", of the existence of so-called "suffering" including about how "noble truth" is not really the best rendering of ariyasacca and "suffering" is not at all a good word for dukkha. But we still use those words because of the same reason banks still use COBOL. Legacy.

Anyway, once you've established for yourself that dukkha exists, then you're ready for the second practice with perspective that will bring you to a dignified life: The origin of dukkha. The cause of dukkha.

( What, then, O bhikkhus, is the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering? )
