Isn't "Cessation of suffering = cessation of craving" a better formulation?reflection wrote: The four noble truths and dependent origination are intertwined. They don't describe totally different things. Origination of suffering = dependent origination. Cessation of suffering = cessation of dependent origination...

What I meant to say is the second noble truth, the origin of suffering, is described in more detail by dependent origination. The third noble truth, the cessation of suffering, is described in more detail by cessation of dependent origination. In essence they describe the same thing. So you can't really take the two teachings apart and assume they have a totally different meaning of birth, aging and death.
