Knowledge of suffering; knowledge of the origin; knowledge of cessation; knowledge of the path; knowledge of the phenomena associated with suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path; knowledge of the aggregates; knowledge of the elements; knowledge of the sense bases; knowledge of the past and future; and knowledge of the path and its results. These are a bodhisattva’s ten types of knowledge. “What is knowledge of suffering? It is to know suffering in terms of suffering, suffering in terms of its origin, suffering in terms of its cessation, and suffering in terms of the path. Additionally, it is to know suffering as empty, suffering as signless, suffering as wishless, and suffering as dependently originated. It is to know that this birth in the world is suffering. Knowing ignorance, craving, and grasping is to know suffering. This is what is known as knowledge of suffering. “What is knowledge of the origin? Knowing that through which suffering originates is knowledge of the origin. Knowing that origin to be suffering itself is knowledge of the origin. Knowing craving is also knowledge of the origin. This is what is known as knowledge of the origin. “What is knowledge of cessation? It is knowing that which does not pass away in the previous life, that which does not arise in the next life, and that which is not present in between. Additionally, it is knowing that phenomena from the past are not subject to cessation, and that phenomena that arise in the future and present also are not subject to cessation. This is what is known as knowledge of cessation. “What is knowledge of the path? It is the knowledge that seeks out the knowledge of suffering, the knowledge of its origin, and the knowledge of its cessation, and is the knowledge that brings about attainment. - [Previous: 3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.3.17) - [Next: 3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.3.19) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.3) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ཆོས་ཡང་དག་པར་སྡུད་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo.3.18) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dharma.dharmasangiti*bo~en-84000.3.18) · Pramāṇa
