Kālattayadukkhasutta
Suffering in the Three Times
“Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ;
“Mendicants, form of the past and future is suffering,
ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.
let alone the present.
Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ rūpasmiṁ anapekkho hoti;
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past form,
anāgataṁ rūpaṁ nābhinandati;
doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form,
paccuppannassa rūpassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.
and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form.
viññāṇaṁ dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ;
Consciousness of the past and future is suffering,
ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.
let alone the present.
Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ viññāṇasmiṁ anapekkho hoti;
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past consciousness,
anāgataṁ viññāṇaṁ nābhinandati;
doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness,
paccuppannassa viññāṇassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti.
and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.”
