18. Rāhulasaṁyutta: With Rāhula

I. The First Chapter — SN18.6: Perceptions

1At Sāvatthī.

“What do you think, Rāhula? Is perception of sights permanent or impermanent?”

“Impermanent, sir.” …

“… perception of sounds … perception of smells … perception of tastes … perception of touches … Is perception of thoughts permanent or impermanent?”


“Impermanent, sir.” …

“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with the perception of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and thoughts. …”

1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.

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

"Aniccā, bhante" …

"saddasaññā … pe … gandhasaññā … rasasaññā … phoṭṭhabbasaññā … dhammasaññā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?


"Aniccā, bhante" …

"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpasaññāyapi nibbindati … pe … saddasaññāyapi nibbindati … gandhasaññāyapi nibbindati … rasasaññāyapi nibbindati … phoṭṭhabbasaññāyapi nibbindati … dhammasaññāyapi nibbindati … pe … pajānātī"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
