Abhinandanasutta  Taking Pleasure

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.  At Sāvatthī.

“Yo, bhikkhave, rūpaṁ abhinandati, dukkhaṁ so abhinandati.  “Mendicants, if you take pleasure in form, you take pleasure in suffering.
Yo dukkhaṁ abhinandati, aparimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi.  If you take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re not exempt from suffering.

Yo vedanaṁ abhinandati …  If you take pleasure in feeling …
yo saññaṁ abhinandati …  perception …
yo saṅkhāre abhinandati …  choices …
yo viññāṇaṁ abhinandati, dukkhaṁ so abhinandati.  consciousness, you take pleasure in suffering.
Yo dukkhaṁ abhinandati, aparimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi.  If you take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re not exempt from suffering.

Yo ca kho, bhikkhave, rūpaṁ nābhinandati, dukkhaṁ so nābhinandati.  If you don’t take pleasure in form, you don’t take pleasure in suffering.
Yo dukkhaṁ nābhinandati, parimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi.  If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re exempt from suffering.

Yo vedanaṁ nābhinandati …  If you don’t take pleasure in feeling …
yo saññaṁ nābhinandati …  perception …
yo saṅkhāre nābhinandati …  choices …
yo viññāṇaṁ nābhinandati, dukkhaṁ so nābhinandati.  consciousness, you don’t take pleasure in suffering.
Yo dukkhaṁ nābhinandati, parimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmī”ti.  If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, I say you’re exempt from suffering.”

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
