- The truth of cessation is state of having relinquished both the karmas and disturbing emotions along with their effects.
- The truth of the path is the paths and levels of Buddhism, the ultimate solution to suffering.
The truth of suffering is like a sickness, the truth of origin is the cause of the sickness, the truth of cessation is like having recovered from the sickness, and the truth of the path is like following a cure for the sickness. These four truths can be understood in increasingly deeper ways as the practitioner progresses through the nine vehicles. (RY)
