- fdg sc © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, without directly knowing and fully understanding the eye,[n.93] This sutta and the next closely resemble SN35.26. without developing dispassion towards it and abandoning it, one is incapable of destroying suffering. Without directly knowing and fully understanding the ear … the mind, without developing dispassion towards it and abandoning it, one is incapable of destroying suffering. But by directly knowing and fully understanding the eye … the mind, by developing dispassion towards it and abandoning it, one is capable of destroying suffering." sn.iv.90 |
