SN35: Connected Discourses on the Six Sense Bases

SN35:165 Abandoning Wrong View

1Then a certain bhikkhu approached the Blessed One … and said to him: "Venerable sir, how should one know, how should one see, for wrong view to be abandoned?" [n.159] This sutta and the next two correspond to SN22.154–56.

2"Bhikkhu, when one knows and sees the eye as impermanent, wrong view is abandoned. When one knows and sees forms as impermanent … eye-consciousness as impermanent … eye-contact as impermanent … whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition … as impermanent, wrong view is abandoned. It is when one knows and sees thus that wrong view is abandoned."

1Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami … pe … ekamantaṁ nisinno so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: "Kathaṁ nu kho, bhante, jānato kathaṁ passato micchādiṭṭhi pahīyatī"ti?

2"Cakkhuṁ kho, bhikkhu, aniccato jānato passato micchādiṭṭhi pahīyati. Rūpe aniccato jānato passato micchādiṭṭhi pahīyati. Cakkhuviññāṇaṁ aniccato jānato passato micchādiṭṭhi pahīyati. Cakkhusamphassaṁ aniccato jānato passato micchādiṭṭhi pahīyati … pe … yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi aniccato jānato passato micchādiṭṭhi pahīyati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhu, jānato evaṁ passato micchādiṭṭhi pahīyatī"ti.


Dasamaṁ.
