Intro: as we have seen, there are three rounds: understanding the
truths, sacca ~naa.na.m; understanding the task (kicca), kicca
~naa.na.m, the development of direct understanding of the
characteristics of all dhammas; the direct realisation, pa.tivedha,
of the truth that is reached when understanding of realities has been
developed, kata ~naa.na.m.
These three rounds pertain to each one of the four noble truths, and
then there are twelve modes of the three rounds. There are three
rounds as to the understanding of the first noble truth, dukkha.
There are three rounds as to the abandonment of the origin of dukkha,
which is clinging. There are three rounds as to the realisation of
the ceasing of dukkha, that is nibbaana. There are three rounds as to
the development of the way leading to the cessation of dukkha, that
is the eightfold Path.
In the following text we read as to the origin of dukkha:
understanding what the origin is, understanding of the task of
abandonment of it, understanding of the accomplishment of the
abandonment of it.
'This is the noble truth of the origin of suffering': thus, monks, in
regard to teachings not heard by me before, vision, insight, wisdom,
knowledge and illumination arose.
