Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN36: Connected Discourses on Feeling

SN36:25 Knowledge[n.257] In Ee, this sutta is not counted separately but is printed as though it were a continuation of the preceding one. Be and Se, which I follow, treat it as a separate sutta.

1"‘These are feelings’: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light.

"‘This is the origin of feeling’: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision … and light.

"‘This is the way leading to the origination of feeling’: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision … and light.

"‘This is the cessation of feeling’: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision … and light. sn.iv.234

"‘This is the way leading to the cessation of feeling’: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision … and light.

"‘This is the gratification in feeling’ … ‘This is the danger in feeling’ … ‘This is the escape from feeling’: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light."

1"‘Imā vedanā’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu cakkhuṁ udapādi, ñāṇaṁ udapādi, paññā udapādi, vijjā udapādi, āloko udapādi.

‘Ayaṁ vedanāsamudayo’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu cakkhuṁ udapādi … pe … āloko udapādi.

‘Ayaṁ vedanāsamudayagāminī paṭipadā’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu cakkhuṁ udapādi … pe …

‘Ayaṁ vedanānirodho’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu cakkhuṁ udapādi … pe …

‘Ayaṁ vedanānirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu cakkhuṁ udapādi … pe …

‘Ayaṁ vedanāya assādo’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu … pe … ‘Ayaṁ vedanāya ādīnavo’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu … pe … ‘idaṁ kho nissaraṇan’ti me, bhikkhave, pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu cakkhuṁ udapādi, ñāṇaṁ udapādi, paññā udapādi, vijjā udapādi, āloko udapādī"ti.


Pañcamaṁ.
