Original text:次复观察此心相续。以爱为因。以爱为集。以爱为起。以爱为缘。如是名为悟入集谛。次复观察此心相续。所有择灭是永灭性。是永静性。是永妙性。是永离性。如是名为悟入灭谛。次复观察此心相续。究竟对治。趣灭之道。是真道性。是真如性。是真行性。是真出性。如是名为悟入道谛。

Explanation: Again, one contemplates this continuous stream of mind: craving is its cause, craving is its aggregation, craving is its arising, craving is its condition. Realizing this principle is called awakening to and entering the truth of the origin of suffering. Again, one contemplates this continuous stream of mind: all the dharmas of arising and ceasing that are discerned through selective elimination possess the nature of perpetual cessation, the nature of perpetual tranquility, the nature of perpetual subtlety, and the nature of perpetual detachment. This is called awakening to and entering the truth of the cessation of suffering. Again, one contemplates this continuous stream of mind: the path that thoroughly counteracts all afflictions and leads toward cessation has the true nature of the path, the true nature of suchness, the true nature of practice, and the true nature of liberation. This is called awakening to and entering the truth of the path.
