III. All — SN35.27: Without Completely Understanding (2nd)

1“Mendicants, without directly knowing and completely understanding the all, without dispassion for it and giving it up, you can’t end suffering. And what is the all, without directly knowing and completely understanding which, without dispassion for it and giving it up, you can’t end suffering?


The eye, sights, eye consciousness, and things known by eye consciousness.

The ear … nose … tongue … body …

The mind, thoughts, mind consciousness, and things known by mind consciousness.

This is the all, without directly knowing and completely understanding which, without dispassion for it and giving it up, you can’t end suffering.


2By directly knowing and completely understanding the all, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering.

And what is the all, directly knowing and completely understanding which, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering?


The eye, sights, eye consciousness, and things known by eye consciousness.

The ear … nose … tongue … body …

The mind, thoughts, mind consciousness, and things known by mind consciousness.

This is the all, directly knowing and completely understanding which, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering.”

1"Sabbaṁ, bhikkhave, anabhijānaṁ aparijānaṁ avirājayaṁ appajahaṁ abhabbo dukkhakkhayāya.

Kiñca, bhikkhave, sabbaṁ anabhijānaṁ aparijānaṁ avirājayaṁ appajahaṁ abhabbo dukkhakkhayāya?


Yañca, bhikkhave, cakkhu, ye ca rūpā, yañca cakkhuviññāṇaṁ, ye ca cakkhuviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā … pe … yā ca jivhā, ye ca rasā, yañca jivhāviññāṇaṁ, ye ca jivhāviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā; yo ca kāyo, ye ca phoṭṭhabbā, yañca kāyaviññāṇaṁ, ye ca kāyaviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā; yo ca mano, ye ca dhammā, yañca manoviññāṇaṁ, ye ca manoviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā

Idaṁ kho, bhikkhave, sabbaṁ anabhijānaṁ aparijānaṁ avirājayaṁ appajahaṁ abhabbo dukkhakkhayāya.


2Sabbaṁ, bhikkhave, abhijānaṁ parijānaṁ virājayaṁ pajahaṁ bhabbo dukkhakkhayāya.

Kiñca, bhikkhave, sabbaṁ abhijānaṁ parijānaṁ virājayaṁ pajahaṁ bhabbo dukkhakkhayāya?


Yañca, bhikkhave, cakkhu, ye ca rūpā, yañca cakkhuviññāṇaṁ, ye ca cakkhuviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā … pe … yā ca jivhā, ye ca rasā, yañca jivhāviññāṇaṁ, ye ca jivhāviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā; yo ca kāyo, ye ca phoṭṭhabbā, yañca kāyaviññāṇaṁ, ye ca kāyaviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā; yo ca mano, ye ca dhammā, yañca manoviññāṇaṁ, ye ca manoviññāṇaviññātabbā dhammā

Idaṁ kho, bhikkhave, sabbaṁ abhijānaṁ parijānaṁ virājayaṁ pajahaṁ bhabbo dukkhakkhayāyā"ti.

Pañcamaṁ.
