SN18:5 Feeling
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1… "What do you think, Rahula, is feeling born of eye-contact … feeling born of ear-contact … feeling born of nose-contact … feeling born of tongue-contact … feeling born of body-contact … feeling born of mind-contact permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir." …
"Seeing thus, Rahula, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards feeling born of eye-contact … revulsion towards feeling born of mind-contact. Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate … . He understands: ‘… there is no more for this state of being.’"
1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati. "Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, cakkhusamphassajā vedanā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti? "Aniccā, bhante" … "sotasamphassajā vedanā … pe … ghānasamphassajā vedanā … jivhāsamphassajā vedanā … kāyasamphassajā vedanā … manosamphassajā vedanā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti? "Aniccā, bhante" …
"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako cakkhusamphassajāya vedanāyapi nibbindati … pe … sota … ghāna … jivhā … kāya … manosamphassajāya vedanāyapi nibbindati … pe … pajānātī"ti.
Pañcamaṁ.
