SN35: Connected Discourses on the Six Sense Bases

SN35:62 The Exhaustion of All Clinging (2)

1"Bhikkhus, I will teach you the Dhamma for the exhaustion of all clinging. Listen to that. And what, bhikkhus, is the Dhamma for the exhaustion of all clinging?

2"What do you think, bhikkhus, is the eye permanent or impermanent?"sn.iv.35

3"Impermanent, venerable sir."

4"Is what is impermanent suffering or happiness?"

5"Suffering, venerable sir."

6"Is what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change fit to be regarded thus: ‘This is mine, this I am, this is my self’?"

7"No, venerable sir."


8"Are forms … Is eye-consciousness permanent or impermanent? …

9"Impermanent, venerable sir." …

10Is eye-contact permanent or impermanent? …

11"Impermanent, venerable sir." …


12"Is any feeling that arises with eye-contact as condition— whether pleasant or painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant— permanent or impermanent? …


13"Impermanent, venerable sir."

"Is what is impermanent suffering or happiness?"

"Suffering, venerable sir."

"Is what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change fit to be regarded thus: ‘This is mine, this I am, this is my self’?"

"No, venerable sir."


14"Is the ear … permanent or impermanent? …


"Is the nose … permanent or impermanent? …


"Is the tongue … permanent or impermanent? …


"Is the body … permanent or impermanent? …


"Is the mind … mental objects … mind-consciousness … mind-contact permanent or impermanent?

"Is any feeling that arises with mind-contact as condition permanent or impermanent?"

15"Impermanent, venerable sir."


16"Is what is impermanent suffering or happiness?"

17"Suffering, venerable sir."

18"Is what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change fit to be regarded thus: ‘This is mine, this I am, this is my self’?"

19"No, venerable sir."


20"Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards the eye, towards forms, towards eye-consciousness, towards eye-contact, towards whatever feeling arises with eye-contact as condition— whether pleasant or painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant.


"He experiences revulsion towards the ear …
"He experiences revulsion towards the nose …
"He experiences revulsion towards the tongue …
"He experiences revulsion towards the body …
towards whatever feeling arises with any contact as condition …


"He experiences revulsion towards the mind … mental objects … mind-consciousness … mind-contact …
towards whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition …


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.’


"This, bhikkhus, is the Dhamma for the exhaustion of all clinging."

Vaggo tena pavuccatīti.
