From the same link given by Element at p. 4:

Bhikkhus, whenever a noble disciple clearly understands kamma, the birth place of kamma, the diversity of kamma, the fruits of kamma, the quenching of kamma like this, then that noble disciple clearly understands the brahmacariya as the means of penetrating to the quenching of action (kammanirodha) This part of the teaching seems interesting because instead of Dukkha appears Kamma in the way the four noble truths are given. It is not the same "Dukkha" as "kamma". Kamma can be "bright" kamma with "bright" results or in terms of diversity, there is kamma that lead to experience a deva world. Seems this is beyond the scope of just "suffering" because here what is at sight it the complete renunciation also to such "good" kamma ripening or to abide in a Deva world. To contemplate this, the four noble truths formula with kamma, seems far more reaching.

Any Comments?
