SN14:6 Diversity of External Elements

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, I will teach you the diversity of elements. Listen to that and attend closely, I will speak … .

"And what, bhikkhus, is the diversity of elements? The form element, the sound element, the odour element, the taste element, the tactile-object element, the mental-phenomena element. This, bhikkhus, is called the diversity of elements."

1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati. "Dhātunānattaṁ vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi.

Taṁ suṇātha … pe … katamañca, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṁ? Rūpadhātu saddadhātu gandhadhātu rasadhātu phoṭṭhabbadhātu dhammadhātu – idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, dhātunānattan"ti.


Chaṭṭhaṁ.
