v2.c34.s5.26

The fourth doctrine mentioned above is, as Masuda explains, that *dukkha* can be removed not by means of the observance of moral precepts (śīlas) and practice of meditation (samādhi) but by the knowledge of the truth, causal law, and *anatta* of the things of the world. It is the basic teaching of Theravāda, hence no reference is made to it in the *Kvu*.
