一、苦諦。苦以逼惱為義。一切有為心行，常為無常患累之所逼惱，故名為苦。苦有三種：一苦苦、二壞苦、三行苦。今明三苦有別有通。別者，三苦即別對三受，苦受從苦緣生，情覺是苦，即苦苦也；樂受，樂壞時生苦，即是壞苦；不苦不樂受，常為無常遷動，即是行苦也。若通論三苦，則三受通有三苦也。所以然者，三受之心即是苦，通從苦緣生故，通是苦苦；三受之心通為壞相所壞故，通是壞苦也；三受之心通是起役運動不停之相，故通是行苦也。若三受心若別若通無非是苦者，當知苦是審實而有，故名諦也。

> First is the truth of suffering. Suffering has the meaning of oppressive affliction. All conditioned mental activities are constantly oppressed and afflicted by the burdens of impermanence; hence it is called 'suffering'. Suffering is of three kinds: first, the suffering of suffering; second, the suffering of change; third, the suffering of conditioned formations. It is now explained that the three sufferings have distinct and universal \[aspects\]. Distinctly, the three sufferings correspond individually to the three feelings: painful feeling arises from painful conditions, and the mind perceives it as painful—this is the suffering of suffering; pleasant feeling gives rise to suffering when pleasure disintegrates—this is the suffering of change; neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling is constantly shifting and moving under impermanence—this is the suffering of conditioned formations. If discussed universally, all three feelings universally possess the three sufferings. Why is this? The mind of the three feelings is itself suffering; because they all universally arise from painful conditions, they are universally the suffering of suffering. Because the mind of the three feelings is universally broken by the characteristic of disintegration, they are universally the suffering of change. Because the mind of the three feelings universally has the characteristic of restless arising, functioning, and movement, they are universally the suffering of conditioned formations. If the minds of the three feelings, whether distinctly or universally, are nothing other than suffering, one should know that suffering is thoroughly verified and real, and is therefore called a 'truth'.
