1“Mendicants, I will teach you the principle for depleting all fuel. Listen …

And what is the principle for depleting all fuel?

---

2What do you think, mendicants? Is the eye permanent or impermanent?”

3“Impermanent, sir.”

4“But if it’s impermanent, is it suffering or happiness?”

5“Suffering, sir.”

6“But if it’s impermanent, suffering, and liable to fall apart, is it fit to be regarded thus: ‘This is mine, I am this, this is my self’?”

7“No, sir.”

---

8-11“Sights … eye consciousness … eye contact …

---

12The pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by eye contact: is that permanent or impermanent?”

13“Impermanent, sir.” …

---

14“Ear … nose … tongue … body … mind … thoughts … mind consciousness … mind contact … The pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact: is that permanent or impermanent?”

15“Impermanent, sir.”

---

16“But if it’s impermanent, is it suffering or happiness?”

17“Suffering, sir.”

18“But if it’s impermanent, suffering, and liable to fall apart, is it fit to be regarded thus: ‘This is mine, I am this, this is my self’?”

19“No, sir.”

20“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact. And they grow disillusioned with the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by eye contact. They grow disillusioned with the ear … nose … tongue … body … They grow disillusioned with the mind, thoughts, mind consciousness, and mind contact. And they grow disillusioned with the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they’re freed, they know they’re freed.

They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’

This is the principle for depleting all fuel.”
