18. Rāhulasaṁyutta: With Rāhula

I. The First Chapter — SN18.2: Sights, Etc.

1At Sāvatthī.

“What do you think, Rāhula? Are sights permanent or impermanent?”

“Impermanent, sir.” … “… sounds … smells … tastes … touches … Are thoughts permanent or impermanent?”


“Impermanent, sir.” …

“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and thoughts. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. …”

1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.

""Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, rūpā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?

"Aniccā, bhante" … pe … saddā … gandhā … rasā … phoṭṭhabbā … dhammā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?


"Aniccā, bhante" …

"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpesupi nibbindati … saddesupi nibbindati … gandhesupi nibbindati … rasesupi nibbindati … phoṭṭhabbesupi nibbindati … dhammesupi nibbindati; nibbindaṁ virajjati … pe … pajānātī"ti.


Dutiyaṁ.
