The Teacher

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, one who does not truly know or see old age and death should seek the Teacher so as to truly know old age and death.
One who does not truly know or see the origin of old age and death should seek the Teacher so as to truly know the origin of old age and death.
One who does not truly know or see the cessation of old age and death should seek the Teacher so as to truly know the cessation of old age and death.
One who does not truly know or see the practice that leads to the cessation of old age and death should seek the Teacher so as to truly know the practice that leads to the cessation of old age and death.”
