And according to according to the truth known by the noble ones, this is what suffering’s cessation is: It is the complete fading away, cessation, relinquishment, giving up, non-existence, and non-abiding of that same craving.
And according to the truth known by the noble ones, this is what the practice that makes suffering cease is: It is the noble eightfold path, which consists of right view, right intentions, right speech, right actions, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right unification of the mind.
