II. Pairs — SN35.19: Taking Pleasure (Interior)

1“Mendicants, if you take pleasure in the eye, you take pleasure in suffering. If you take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re not exempt from suffering.

If you take pleasure in the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind, you take pleasure in suffering. If you take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re not exempt from suffering.

2If you don’t take pleasure in the eye, you don’t take pleasure in suffering. If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re exempt from suffering.

If you don’t take pleasure in the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind, you don’t take pleasure in suffering. If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re exempt from suffering.”

1"Yo, bhikkhave, cakkhuṁ abhinandati, dukkhaṁ so abhinandati. Yo dukkhaṁ abhinandati, aparimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi.

Yo sotaṁ … pe … yo ghānaṁ … pe … yo jivhaṁ abhinandati, dukkhaṁ so abhinandati. Yo dukkhaṁ abhinandati, aparimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi. Yo kāyaṁ … pe … yo manaṁ abhinandati, dukkhaṁ so abhinandati. Yo dukkhaṁ abhinandati, aparimutto so dukkhasmā"ti vadāmi.

2"Yo ca kho, bhikkhave, cakkhuṁ nābhinandati, dukkhaṁ so nābhinandati. Yo dukkhaṁ nābhinandati, parimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi.

Yo sotaṁ … pe … yo ghānaṁ … pe … yo jivhaṁ nābhinandati, dukkhaṁ so nābhinandati. Yo dukkhaṁ nābhinandati, parimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi. Yo kāyaṁ … pe … yo manaṁ nābhinandati, dukkhaṁ so nābhinandati. Yo dukkhaṁ nābhinandati, parimutto so dukkhasmā"ti vadāmi.
