THE NOBLE TRUTH OF THE PRACTICE LEADING TO THE CESSATION OF SUFFERING NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED 导至苦灭之道圣谛应修习

The Noble Truth of the Practice Leading to the Cessation of Suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path (Ariya Aṭṭh∙Aṅgika Magga ) :

1) Right View (Sammā∙Diṭṭhi)
2) Right Intention (Sammā∙Saṅkappa)
3) Right Speech (Sammā∙Vācā)
4) Right Action (Sammā∙Kammanta)
5) Right Livelihood (Sammā∙Ājīva)
6) Right Effort (Sammā∙Vāyāma)
7) Right Mindfulness (Sammā∙Sati)
8) Right Concentration (Sammā∙Samādhi)

导至苦灭之道圣谛即是八支圣道：
1.正见
2.正思惟
3.正语
4.正业
5.正命
6.正精进
7.正念
8.正定

The Noble Eightfold Path needs to be developed. According to, for example, the ‘Cūḷa∙Vedalla Sutta’ of the Majjhima∙Nikāya , the eight factors of the Noble Eightfold Path correspond to the three aggregates:

1)Right Speech, Right Action, and Right Livelihood correspond to the morality aggregate (sīla∙kkhandha) .
2)Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration correspond to the concentration aggregate (samādhi∙kkhandha) .
3) Right View and Right Intention correspond to the wisdom aggregate (paññā∙kkhandha) .

Again, in the ‘Mahā∙Saḷ∙Āyatanika Sutta’ that we just quoted from, The Buddha explains that the practice which needs to be developed with direct knowledge is samatha and vipassanā. This is how we may understand that the Noble Eightfold Path corresponds to samatha and vipassanā.

By developing samatha and vipassanā with direct knowledge, one comes fully to know the five clinging-aggregates with direct knowledge. By fully knowing the five clinging-aggregates with direct knowledge, one comes to abandon ignorance and craving with direct knowledge. And then one may come also to realize Nibbāna with direct knowledge, by realizing with direct knowledge the four Paths and their respective Fruitions: the Stream Entry(Sot∙Āpatti∙) , Once-Return(Sakad ∙Āgami∙) , Non-Return(An∙Āgami∙) , and Arahant Path&Fruition (Arahatta∙Magga∙Phala) .

Hence, as The Buddha says in the ‘Kūṭāgāra Sutta’ that we quoted earlier:

If anyone said: ‘Without penetrating the Noble Truth of the Practice Leading to the Cessation of Suffering according to reality… I shall make a complete end of suffering’, such a possibility does not exist (n∙etaṃ ṭhānaṃ vijjati) .

That then is how the four tasks that need to be done correspond to penetration of the four Noble Truths according to reality.

必须修习这八支圣道。根据《中部·小智解经》，圣道的八项要素相当于三蕴：
1) 正语、正业和正命相当于戒蕴(sīla∙kkhandha)；
2) 正精进、正念和正定相当于定蕴(samādhi∙kkhandha)；
3) 正见和正思惟相当于慧蕴(paññā∙kkhandha)。
(M.1.462)4

再者，正如前面所引述的《大六处经》，佛陀强调需要通过亲证之智来修习的是止(samatha)和观 (vipassanà)，因此我们知道八支圣道相当于止和观。

通过亲证之智修习止和观，能够以亲证之智来遍知五取蕴；通过亲证之智遍知五取蕴，能够以亲证之智来断除无明和爱，然后也通过亲证之智来证悟涅槃，并以亲证之智来证悟四圣道及其相应之果：入流 (sotàpatti)、一来(Sakad∙Āgami∙)、不来(anĀgami∙)和阿拉汉道果(arahatta-magga-phala)。

所以，就如佛陀在前所引述的《楼阁经》中说：

“诸比库，若有人这样说：‘我不用如实证悟导至苦灭之道圣谛，就能完全作苦之边际。’无有此事！”

因此，这四项必须完成的任务相当于如实证悟四圣谛。
