净土之四种四圣谛
[29] The Four Kinds Of Four Noble Truths In Pure Land
此等道品，依生灭四谛而修，即藏教道品；
[Of] these kinds [of] path grades, relying on Arising [And] Ceasing Four [Noble] Truths then cultivating, [is] thus [with the] Tripiṭaka Teaching’s path grades.
[Note 1: See Related Article below for definitions of the Four Noble Truths (四圣谛) and the Noble Eightfold Path (八正道), which is the Fourth Noble Truth (第四圣谛), and how they are connected to the Main Pure Land Practice (净土正行).
Each of these truths (in the Arising And Ceasing Four Noble Truths) are cultivated in terms of arising and ceasing (生灭), for severing from the cycle of birth and death (生死).]
依无生四谛而修，即通教道品；
Relying on Non-Arising Four [Noble] Truths then cultivating, [is] this [with the] Common Teaching’s path grades.
[Note 2: Each of these truths are cultivated by contemplating them to be empty in nature (空性), without self-nature (无自性).]
依无量四谛而修，即别教道品；
Relying on Immeasurable Four [Noble] Truths then cultivating, [is] thus [with the] Separate Teaching’s path grades.
[Note 3: Each of these truths are cultivated in immeasurable ways, due to the immeasurable natures of sentient beings’ karmic causes and conditions to be delivered to liberation.]
依无作四谛而修，即圆教道品。
Relying on Non-Doing Four [Noble] Truths then cultivating, [is] thus [with the] Complete Teaching’s path grades.
[Note 4: Each of these truths are cultivated, to realise their aspects to have the same True Suchness’ True Nature (真如实性).
The First Truth Of Suffering (第一苦谛) is for realisation that the Five Aggregates are originally the Thus Come Ones’ Treasury (五蕴本如来藏) (in essence), without suffering that can be departed from (无苦可离).
The Second Truth Of Accumulation (Of Suffering) (第二集谛) is for realisation that afflictions (烦恼) are thus Bodhi (烦恼即菩提) (in essence), without accumulation that can be severed (无集可断).
The Third Truth Of Cessation (Of Suffering) (第三灭谛) is for realisation that the cycle of birth and death (生死) is thus Nirvāṇa (生死即涅槃) (in essence), without cessation that can be realised (无灭可证).
The Fourth Truth Of The Path (To Cessation Of Suffering) (第四道谛) is for realisation that Extreme Views (边见) and Evil Views (邪见) are all the Middle Path’s (中道) Right Views (正见) (边邪皆中正) (in essence), without the path that can be cultivated (无道可修).]
