SN35: Connected Discourses on the Six Sense Bases

SN35:8 The Internal as Suffering in the Three Times

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, the eye is suffering, both of the past and the future, not to speak of the present. Seeing thus … The mind is suffering … for its fading away and cessation."

1"Cakkhuṁ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ; ko pana vādo paccuppannassa. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ cakkhusmiṁ anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ cakkhuṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannassa cakkhussa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti. Sotaṁ dukkhaṁ … pe … ghānaṁ dukkhaṁ … pe … jivhā dukkhā atītānāgatā; ko pana vādo paccuppannāya. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītāya jivhāya anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ jivhaṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannāya jivhāya nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti. Kāyo dukkho … pe … mano dukkho atītānāgato; ko pana vādo paccuppannassa. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ manasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ manaṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannassa manassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī"ti.


Aṭṭhamaṁ.
