What is simple & straight, yet also very intricate?

Friends:
What is simple & straight, yet also very intricate?


Once the Blessed Buddha said this:
This Noble Truth of Suffering has been made known by me;
This Noble Truth on The Cause of Suffering has been made known by me;
This Noble Truth on The End of Suffering has been made known by me;
This Noble Truth on The Way to End Suffering has been made known by me!

Within these 4 Noble Truths there are innumerable meanings & implications,
a
myriad of shades & nuances and countless aspects, features and details...
Therefore, Bhikkhu, an effort should be made much of to understand:
All this is Suffering; an effort should be made much of to comprehend:
Craving is the Cause of Suffering!
An effort should be made so to realize:
No Craving is the End of Suffering! An effort should be made to penetrate,
remember
, and develop: This Noble 8-fold Way which ceases all Suffering...

Understanding these 4 Noble Truths evaporates Ignorance...
Have a nice & noble day!
 
Friendship is the Greatest!
