35. Saḷāyatanasaṁyutta: On the Six Sense Fields
I. Impermanence — SN35.8: The Interior as Suffering in the Three Times
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1“Mendicants, the eye of the past and future is suffering, let alone the present.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about the eye of the past, they don’t look forward to enjoying the eye in the future, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the eye in the present. …”
1"Cakkhuṁ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ; ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.
Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ cakkhusmiṁ anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ cakkhuṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannassa cakkhussa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti. Sotaṁ dukkhaṁ … pe … ghānaṁ dukkhaṁ … pe … jivhā dukkhā atītānāgatā; ko pana vādo paccuppannāya. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītāya jivhāya anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ jivhaṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannāya jivhāya nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti. Kāyo dukkho … pe … mano dukkho atītānāgato; ko pana vādo paccuppannassa. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ manasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ manaṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannassa manassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī"ti.
Aṭṭhamaṁ.
