"Monks, I will teach you the phenomena to be comprehended, as well as comprehension. Listen & pay close attention. I will speak." "As you say, lord," the monks responded to him. The Blessed One said, "And which are the phenomena to be comprehended? Form is a phenomenon to be comprehended. Feeling⦠Perception⦠Fabrications⦠Consciousness is a phenomenon to be comprehended. These are called phenomena to be comprehended. "And which is comprehension? Any ending of passion, ending of aversion, ending of delusion:1 This is called comprehension." Note 1. Comprehension here means the arahantâs full-knowing (see MN 117). As SN 56:11 shows, the first noble truth of suffering and stress is to be comprehended. As SN 56:30 further implies, when the first noble truth has been comprehended, the tasks with regard to all the other noble truths have been completed as well.
