- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī.
“What do you think, Rāhula? Is craving for sights permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“… craving for sounds … craving for smells … craving for tastes … craving for touches … Is craving for thoughts permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with craving for sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and thoughts. …”
1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.
""Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, rūpataṇhā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?
"Aniccā, bhante" …
"saddataṇhā … pe … gandhataṇhā … rasataṇhā … phoṭṭhabbataṇhā … dhammataṇhā niccā vā aniccā vā"ti?
"Aniccā, bhante" …
"evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpataṇhāyapi nibbindati … pe … saddataṇhāyapi nibbindati … gandhataṇhāyapi nibbindati … rasataṇhāyapi nibbindati … phoṭṭhabbataṇhāyapi nibbindati … dhammataṇhāyapi nibbindati … pe … pajānātī"ti.
