18. Rāhulasaṁyutta: With Rāhula

I. The First Chapter — SN18.7: Intention

1At Sāvatthī.

“What do you think, Rāhula? Is intention regarding sights permanent or impermanent?”


“Impermanent, sir.” …

“… intention regarding sounds … intention regarding smells … intention regarding tastes … intention regarding touches … Is intention regarding thoughts permanent or impermanent?”


“Impermanent, sir.” …

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

1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.

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


"Aniccā, bhante" …

"saddasañcetanā … pe … gandhasañcetanā … rasasañcetanā … phoṭṭhabbasañcetanā … dhammasañcetanā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?


"Aniccā, bhante" …

"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … pe … saddasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … gandhasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … rasasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … phoṭṭhabbasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … dhammasañcetanāyapi nibbindati … pe … pajānātī"ti.

Sattamaṁ.
