- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, without directly knowing and fully understanding the all, without developing dispassion towards it and abandoning it, one is incapable of destroying suffering.
"And what, bhikkhus, is the all … ?
"The eye and forms and eye-consciousness and things to be cognized by eye-consciousness. [n.12] Cakkhuviññāṇaviññātabbā dhamma. Spk gives several alternative explanations to show how these might differ from rūpa: "He shows this, taking into account the same form taken in above (by the word rūpa); or else rūpa takes into account form that actually comes into range (of consciousness), while this denotes form that does not come into raṅge. This is the decision here: Above (all form) is included, whether or not it comes into raṅge, but here the three aggregates associated with consciousness are included, because they are to be cognized along with eye-consciousness. The same method applies to the remaining terms." This explanation seems to me contrived. sn.iv.19 The ear and sounds and ear-consciousness and things to be cognized by ear-consciousness … . The mind and mental phenomena and mind-consciousness and things to be cognized by mind-consciousness.
"This, bhikkhus, is the all without directly knowing and fully understanding which, without developing dispassion towards which and abandoning which, one is incapable of destroying suffering.
"But, bhikkhus, by directly knowing and fully understanding the all, by developing dispassion towards it and abandoning it, one is capable of destroying suffering.
"And what, bhikkhus, is the all … ? as above
"This, bhikkhus, is the all by directly knowing and fully understanding which, by developing dispassion towards which and abandoning which, one is capable of destroying suffering."
