III. All — SN35.25: Giving Up By Direct Knowledge and Complete Understanding

1“Mendicants, I will teach you the principle for giving up the all by direct knowledge and complete understanding. Listen …

And what is the principle for giving up the all by direct knowledge and complete understanding? The eye should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. Sights should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. Eye consciousness should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. Eye contact should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. The painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by eye contact should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding.

The ear … nose … tongue … body … mind should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. Thoughts should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. Mind consciousness should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. Mind contact should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding. The painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact should be given up by direct knowledge and complete understanding.

This is the principle for giving up the all by direct knowledge and complete understanding.”

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sabbaṁ abhiññā pariññā pahānāya dhammo? Cakkhuṁ, bhikkhave, abhiññā pariññā pahātabbaṁ, rūpā abhiññā pariññā pahātabbā, cakkhuviññāṇaṁ abhiññā pariññā pahātabbaṁ, cakkhusamphasso abhiññā pariññā pahātabbo, yampidaṁ cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi abhiññā pariññā pahātabbaṁ … pe …

Kāyo abhiññā pariññā pahātabbo … mano abhiññā pariññā pahātabbo, dhammā abhiññā pariññā pahātabbā, manoviññāṇaṁ abhiññā pariññā pahātabbaṁ, manosamphasso abhiññā pariññā pahātabbo, yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi abhiññā pariññā pahātabbaṁ.

Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhave, sabbaṁ abhiññā pariññā pahānāya dhammo"ti.

Tatiyaṁ.
