We say the Four Noble
Truths and Eightfold Path are teachings for the sravakas, and the Twelve Links
of Causality is a teaching for pratyekas, but according to recent results of
scholarship, Buddha actually taught both of those teachings without separating
them: sometimes the Four Noble Truths and the holy Eight fold Path, sometimes
the Twelve Links of Causality. And if you analyze those two teachings, they are
two different versions of the same teaching. What he meant was the same. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-C as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
