SN22:148 Contemplating Suffering
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, for a clansman who has gone forth out of faith, this is what accords with the Dhamma: he should dwell contemplating suffering in form, feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness.
One who dwells contemplating suffering in form … towards consciousness, fully understands form, feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness.
One who fully understands form … consciousness is freed from form, feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness.
He is freed from birth, aging, and death; freed from sorrow, lamentation, pain, displeasure, and despair; freed from suffering, I say."
1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Saddhāpabbajitassa, bhikkhave, kulaputtassa ayamanudhammo hoti – yaṁ rūpe dukkhānupassī vihareyya. Vedanāya … saññāya … saṅkhāresu … viññāṇe dukkhānupassī vihareyya … pe … ‘parimuccati dukkhasmā’ti vadāmī"ti.
Terasamaṁ.
