SN18:7 Volition
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1… "What do you think, Rahula, is volition regarding forms … volition regarding sounds … volition regarding odours … volition regarding tastes … sn.ii.248 volition regarding tactile objects … volition regarding mental phenomena permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir." …
"Seeing thus, Rahula, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards volition regarding forms … revulsion towards volition regarding mental phenomena. Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate … . He understands: ‘… there is no more for this state of being.’"
1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati. "Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, rūpasañcetanā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti? "Aniccā, bhante" … "saddasañcetanā … pe … gandhasañcetanā … rasasañcetanā … phoṭṭhabbasañcetanā … dhammasañcetanā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti? "Aniccā, bhante" …
"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … pe … saddasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … gandhasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … rasasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … phoṭṭhabbasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … dhammasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … pe … pajānātī"ti.
Sattamaṁ.
