SN22:120 Things That Fetter

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, I will teach you the things that fetter and the fetter. Listen to that …

"And what, bhikkhus, are the things that fetter, and what is the fetter?

Form, bhikkhus, is a thing that fetters; the desire and lust for it is the fetter there.

Feeling … Perception … Volitional formations … sn.iii.167

Consciousness is a thing that fetters; the desire and lust for it is the fetter there.

These are called the things that fetter, and this the fetter."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Saṁyojaniye ca, bhikkhave, dhamme desessāmi saṁyojanañca. Taṁ suṇātha.

Katame ca, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyā dhammā, katamaṁ saṁyojanaṁ?

Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyo dhammo; yo tattha chandarāgo, taṁ tattha saṁyojanaṁ.

Vedanā … pe … saññā … saṅkhārā …

viññāṇaṁ saṁyojaniyo dhammo; yo tattha chandarāgo, taṁ tattha saṁyojanaṁ.

Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyā dhammā, idaṁ saṁyojanan"ti.


Aṭṭhamaṁ.
