Ascetics and Brahmins (1st)Paṭhamasamaṇabrāhmaṇasutta

“Mendicants, whatever ascetics and brahmins truly awaken—in the past,“Ye hi keci, bhikkhave, atītamaddhānaṁ samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā yathābhūtaṁ abhisambojjhiṁsu, sabbe te cattāri ariyasaccāni yathābhūtaṁ abhisambojjhiṁsu. future,Ye hi keci, bhikkhave, anāgatamaddhānaṁ samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā yathābhūtaṁ abhisambojjhissanti, sabbe te cattāri ariyasaccāni yathābhūtaṁ abhisambojjhissanti. or present—all of them truly awaken to the four noble truths.Ye hi keci, bhikkhave, etarahi samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā yathābhūtaṁ abhisambojjhanti, sabbe te cattāri ariyasaccāni yathābhūtaṁ abhisambojjhanti.

What four?Katamāni cattāri? The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering. …Dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ …pe… dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ.

That’s why you should practice meditation …”Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
