SN23: Connected Discourses with Radha

SN23:21 Subject to Arising

1At Sāvatthī. Sitting to one side, the Venerable Radha said to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, it is said, ‘subject to arising, subject to arising.’ What now, venerable sir, is subject to arising?"

"Form, Radha, is subject to arising.
Feeling is subject to arising.
Perception is subject to arising.
Volitional formations are subject to arising.
Consciousness is subject to arising.


"Seeing thus, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards form, revulsion towards feeling, revulsion towards perception, revulsion towards volitional formations, revulsion towards consciousness.

Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion his mind is liberated. When it is liberated there comes the knowledge: ‘It's liberated.’ He understands: ‘Destroyed is birth, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more for this state of being.’"

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: "‘samudayadhammo, samudayadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, bhante, samudayadhammo"ti?

"Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, samudayadhammo, vedanā samudayadhammo, saññā samudayadhammo, saṅkhārā samudayadhammo, viññāṇaṁ samudayadhammo.


Evaṁ passaṁ … pe … nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī"ti.


Ekādasamaṁ.
