Cause and End of Suffering vs the Four Noble truths I have heard that the Buddha once stated that he only teaches the cause of suffering and the end of suffering.


Can I have a Sutta reference for this?
What happened to the other two of the four noble truths? Doesn't he teach them? Why did he only specify two?
This is in MN 22.


  What I teach now as before, O monks, is suffering and the cessation of suffering.


Here, the teachings are summarised in a two-fold manner; other times four-fold, such as four noble truths; other times twenty-four-fold, such as dependent origination &amp; dependent cessation.
