Lesson 3.2.4.4 Saccapabbaṃpabbaṃ, Part Four: Maggasaccaniddeso – Exposition of the Truth of the Path
The fourth Noble Truth is nothing more than an appeal to apply and walk the Noble Eightfold Path for one who really yearns to reduce or eliminate one’s prevailing misery: dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā. It stresses that every one of the eight components needs to be ‘understood properly as it really is’ which can be only done by aiming towards achieving full realisation. Thus sammādiṭṭhi as the very first component provides the correct perspective that precedes and accompanies all other components of the path. The Maggasaccaniddeso highlights each of the eight constituents with a succinct description that the respective chapters of this course will further analyse and define in more detail.
