1 This, O bhikkhus, is the forerunner, this is the fore sign of the arising of the sun, that is, the end of dawn. So too, O bhikkhus, this is the forerunner, this is the fore sign of a bhikkhu's breakthrough to the four noble truths as they have come to be, that is, right view. For a bhikkhu of right view, O bhikkhus, this is to be expected, that he will wisely understand as it has come to be: “This is suffering.” He will wisely understand as it has come to be: “This is the origination of suffering.” He will wisely understand as it has come to be: “This is the cessation of suffering.” He will wisely understand as it has come to be: “This is the path leading to the cessation of suffering.”
2 Therefore, O bhikkhus, an endeavor should be made [to realize]: “This is suffering.” An endeavor should be made [to realize]: “This is the origination of suffering.” An endeavor should be made [to realize]: “This is the cessation of suffering.” An endeavor should be made [to realize]: “This is the path leading to the cessation of suffering.”
