SN18:8 Craving
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1… "What do you think, Rahula, is craving for forms … craving for sounds … craving for odours … craving for tastes … craving for tactile objects … craving for mental phenomena permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir." …
"Seeing thus, Rahula, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards craving for forms … revulsion towards craving for mental phenomena. Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate … . He understands: ‘… there is no more for this state of being.’"
1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati. "Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, rūpataṇhā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti? "Aniccā, bhante" … "saddataṇhā … pe … gandhataṇhā … rasataṇhā … phoṭṭhabbataṇhā … dhammataṇhā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti? "Aniccā, bhante" …
"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpataṇhāyapi nibbindati … pe … saddataṇhāyapi nibbindati … gandhataṇhāyapi nibbindati … rasataṇhāyapi nibbindati … phoṭṭhabbataṇhāyapi nibbindati … dhammataṇhāyapi nibbindati … pe … pajānātī"ti.
Aṭṭhamaṁ.
