Although it is to be identified, there is nothing to be identified. 2 Cause of suffering This is the truth of the cause of suffering. The cause is to be abandoned. Although it is to be abandoned, there is nothing to be abandoned. 3 Cessation of suffering This is the truth of the cessation of suffering. Cessation is to be actualized. Although it is to be actualized, there is nothing to be actualized. 4 Path This is the truth of the path leading to cessation. The path is to be meditated upon. Although it is to be meditated upon, there is nothing to be meditated upon. * Refers to [[3 Types of Suffering#^07e8c6 Pervasive Conditioned Suffering]] Group 3 has two readings:

Just as the fourth is effect to the third (cause) when speaking of liberation.
