-"Monks, I will teach you the All as a phenomenon to be abandoned. Listen & pay close attention. I will speak." |
|
"As you say, lord," the monks responded. |
|
The Blessed One said: |
|
The ear is to be abandoned. Sounds are to be abandoned. Consciousness at the ear is to be abandoned. Contact at the ear is to be abandoned. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the ear — experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain — that too is to be abandoned. |
|
The nose is to be abandoned. Aromas are to be abandoned. Consciousness at the nose is to be abandoned. Contact at the nose is to be abandoned. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the nose — experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain — that too is to be abandoned. |
|
The tongue is to be abandoned. Flavors are to be abandoned. Consciousness at the tongue is to be abandoned. Contact at the tongue is to be abandoned. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the tongue — experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain — that too is to be abandoned. |
|
The body is to be abandoned. Tactile sensations are to be abandoned. Consciousness at the body is to be abandoned. Contact at the body is to be abandoned. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the body — experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain — that too is to be abandoned. |
|
The intellect is to be abandoned. Ideas are to be abandoned. Consciousness at the intellect is to be abandoned. Contact at the intellect is to be abandoned. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the intellect — experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain — that too is to be abandoned. |
|
"This is called the All as a phenomenon to be abandoned." |
|
Note 1. To abandon the eye, etc., here means to abandon passion and desire for these things. See also: SN 35.23 |
