18. Rāhulasaṁyutta: With Rāhula

I. The First Chapter — SN18.5: Feeling

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. …”

1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.

""Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, cakkhusamphassajā vedanā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?

"Aniccā, bhante" …

"sotasamphassajā vedanā … pe … ghānasamphassajā vedanā … jivhāsamphassajā vedanā … kāyasamphassajā vedanā … manosamphassajā vedanā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?


"Aniccā, bhante" …

"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako cakkhusamphassajāya vedanāyapi nibbindati … pe … sota … ghāna … jivhā … kāya … manosamphassajāya vedanāyapi nibbindati … pe … pajānātī"ti.

Pañcamaṁ.
