The Interpretation Of Nirodha-sacca

Noble Truth Of The Cessation Of Suffering

The four inherent characteristics of nirodha-sacca are:

  1. Nissaranattho -- having the characteristic of being an escape, liberation from suffering
  2. Pavivekattho -- having the characteristic of being free from disturbance
  3. Amatattho -- a state where there is no more death or dissolution
  4. Asankhatattho -- having the characteristic of the unoriginated (Nibbana).

Thus any dhamma that has the above four characteristics is called nirodha-sacca. Nibbana alone has the above four characteristics, so it is all nirodha-sacca.
