- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī.
“What do you think, Rāhula? Is feeling born of eye contact permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“… feeling born of ear contact … feeling born of nose contact … feeling born of tongue contact … feeling born of body contact … Is feeling born of mind contact permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with feeling born of eye contact, ear contact, nose contact, tongue contact, body contact, and mind contact. …”
