At Savatthi. There the Blessed One exclaimed this exclamation: |
|
When this was said, a certain monk said to the Blessed One: -In what way would a monk set on this — It should not be, it should not occur to me; it will not be, it will not occur to me'— break the [five] lower fetters?" |
|
There is the case, monk, where an uninstructed, run-of-the-mill person — who has no regard for noble ones, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma; who has no regard for men of integrity, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma — assumes form to be the self, or the self as possessing form, or form as in the self, or the self as in form. |
|
-He assumes feeling to be the self, or the self as possessing feeling, or feeling as in the self, or the self as in feeling. -He assumes perception to be the self, or the self as possessing perception, or perception as in the self, or the self as in perception. -He assumes (mental) fabrications to be the self, or the self as possessing fabrications, or fabrications as in the self, or the self as in fabrications. -He assumes consciousness to be the self, or the self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in the self, or the self as in consciousness. |
|
-He does not discern, as it actually is, inconstant form as 'inconstant form.' -He does not discern, as it actually is, inconstant feeling as 'inconstant feeling' -He does not discern, as it actually is, inconstant perception as 'inconstant perception'. -He does not discern, as it actually is,inconstant fabrications as 'inconstant fabrications'. -He does not discern, as it actually is,inconstant consciousness as 'inconstant consciousness.' |
|
He does not discern, as it actually is, stressful form as 'stressful form'. ...stressful feeling as 'stressful feeling'. ...stressful perception as 'stressful perception'. ...stressful fabrications as 'stressful fabrications'. ...stressful consciousness as 'stressful consciousness.' |
|
-He does not discern, as it actually is, not-self form as 'not-self form' -He does not discern, as it actually is, not-self feeling as 'not-self feeling' -He does not discern, as it actually is, not-self perception as 'not-self perception' -He does not discern, as it actually is, not-self fabrications as 'not-self fabrications' -He does not discern, as it actually is, not-self consciousness as 'not-self consciousness.' |
|
-He does not discern, as it actually is, fabricated form as 'fabricated form' -He does not discern, as it actually is, fabricated feeling as 'fabricated feeling' -He does not discern, as it actually is, fabricated perception as 'fabricated perception' -He does not discern, as it actually is, fabricated fabrications as 'fabricated fabrications' -He does not discern, as it actually is, fabricated consciousness as 'fabricated consciousness.' |
|
-He does not discern, as it actually is, that 'form will stop being' -He does not discern, as it actually is, that 'feeling will stop being' -He does not discern, as it actually is, that 'perception will stop being' -He does not discern, as it actually is, that 'fabrications will stop being' -He does not discern, as it actually is, that 'consciousness will stop being.' |
|
"Now, a well-instructed disciple of the noble ones — who has regard for nobles ones, is well-versed & disciplined in their Dhamma; who has regard for men of integrity, is well-versed & disciplined in their Dhamma: -He does not assume form to be the self, or the self as possessing form, or form as in the self, or the self as in form. -He does not assume feeling to be the self... -He does not assume perception to be the self ... -He does not assume fabrications to be the self... -He does not assume consciousness to be the self, or the self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in the self, or the self as in consciousness. |
|
-He discern, as it actually is, inconstant form as 'inconstant form.' -He discern, as it actually is, inconstant feeling as 'inconstant feeling' -He discern, as it actually is, inconstant perception as 'inconstant perception'. -He discern, as it actually is, inconstant fabrications as 'inconstant fabrications'. -He discern, as it actually is, inconstant consciousness as 'inconstant consciousness.' |
|
-He discern, as it actually is, stressful form as 'stressful form'. -He discern, as it actually is, stressful feeling as 'stressful feeling'. -He discern, as it actually is, stressful perception as 'stressful perception'. -He discern, as it actually is, stressful fabrications as 'stressful fabrications'. -He discern, as it actually is, stressful consciousness as 'stressful consciousness.' |
|
-He discern, as it actually is, not-self form as 'not-self form' -He discern, as it actually is, not-self feeling as 'not-self feeling' -He discern, as it actually is, not-self perception as 'not-self perception' -He discern, as it actually is, not-self fabrications as 'not-self fabrications' -He discern, as it actually is, not-self consciousness as 'not-self consciousness.' |
|
-He discern, as it actually is, fabricated form as 'fabricated form' -... fabricated feeling as'fabricated feeling' -... fabricated perception as'fabricated perception' -... fabricated fabrications as'fabricated fabrications' -... fabricated consciousness as'fabricated consciousness.' |
|
-He discern, as it actually is, that'form will stop being' -He discern, as it actually is, that'feeling will stop being' -He discern, as it actually is, that'perception will stop being' -He discern, as it actually is, that'fabrications will stop being' -He discern, as it actually is, that'consciousness will stop being.' |
|
From the stopping of form, from the stopping of feeling, from the stopping of perception, from the stopping of fabrications, from the stopping of consciousness, a monk set on this: It should not be, it should not occur to me; it will not be, it will not occur to me' — would break the [five] lower fetters." |
|
Lord, a monk set on this would break the [five] lower fetters. But for one knowing in what way, seeing in what way, is there the immediate ending of fermentations?" |
|
There is the case where an uninstructed run-of-the-mill person ... falls into fear over what is not grounds for fear. There is fear for an uninstructed run-of-the-mill person [who thinks], It should not be, it should not occur to me; it will not be, it will not occur to me.' But an instructed disciple of the noble ones does not fall into fear over what is not grounds for fear. There is no fear for an instructed disciple of the noble ones [who thinks], It should not be, it should not occur to me; it will not be, it will not occur to me.' |
|
Should consciousness, when standing (still), stand attached to (a physical) form, supported by form (as its object), established on form, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Should consciousness, when standing (still), stand attached to feeling, supported by feeling (as its object), established on feeling, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Should consciousness, when standing (still), stand attached to perception, supported by perception (as its object), established on perception, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Should consciousness, when standing (still), stand attached to fabrications, supported by fabrications (as its object), established on fabrications, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Should consciousness, when standing (still), stand attached to consciousness, supported by consciousness (as its object), established on consciousness, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation. |
|
Were someone to say, 'I will describe a coming, a going, a passing away, an arising, a growth, an increase, or a proliferation of consciousness apart from form, from feeling, from perception, from fabrications,' that would be impossible. |
|
-If a monk abandons passion for the property of form, then owing to the abandonment of passion, the support is cut off, and there is no base for form. -If a monk abandons passion for the property of feeling ... -If a monk abandons passion for the property of perception ... -If a monk abandons passion for the property of fabrications ... |
|
If a monk abandons passion for the property of consciousness, then owing to the abandonment of passion, the support is cut off, and there is no base for consciousness. Consciousness, thus unestablished, not proliferating, not performing any function, is released. Owing to its release, it stands still. Owing to its stillness, it is contented. Owing to its contentment, it is not agitated. Not agitated, he (the monk) is totally unbound right within. He discerns that 'Birth is ended, the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world.' |
|
For one knowing in this way, seeing in this way, monk, there is the immediate ending of fermentations." |
