SN 14.10 No Diversity of Gains – Dutiyabāhiraphassanānattasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

Bhikkhū, diversity of elements gives rise to diversity of perceptions.

“Dhātunānattaṁ, bhikkhave, paṭicca uppajjati saññānānattaṁ,

Diversity of perceptions gives rise to diversity of thoughts. …

saññānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati saṅkappanānattaṁ,

contacts …

phassa …

feelings …

vedanā …

desires …

chanda …

passions …

pariḷāha …

Diversity of searches gives rise to diversity of gains.

pariyesanānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati lābhanānattaṁ;

Diversity of gains doesn’t give rise to diversity of searches.

no lābhanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati pariyesanānānattaṁ,

Diversity of searches doesn’t give rise to diversity of passions. …

no pariyesanānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati pariḷāhanānattaṁ, no pariḷāhanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati …pe…

desires …

chanda …

feelings …

vedanā …

contacts …

phassa …

thoughts …

saṅkappa …

Diversity of perceptions doesn’t give rise to diversity of elements.

saññānānattaṁ, no saññānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhātunānattaṁ.

And what is the diversity of elements?

Katamañca, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṁ?

The sight element, the sound element, the smell element, the taste element, the touch element, and the thought element.

Rūpadhātu …pe… dhammadhātu—

This is called the diversity of elements.

idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṁ.

And how does diversity of elements give rise to diversity of perceptions,

Kathañca, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati saññānānattaṁ,

and diversity of perceptions give rise to diversity of thoughts?

saññānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati saṅkappanānattaṁ?

contacts …

Phassa …

feelings …

vedanā …

desires …

chanda …

passions …

pariḷāha …

searches …

pariyesanā …

gains …

lābha …

while diversity of gains doesn’t give rise to diversity of searches …

no lābhanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati pariyesanānānattaṁ,

passions …

no pariyesanānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati pariḷāha …

desires …

chanda …

feelings …

vedanā …

contacts …

phassa …

thoughts … perceptions … elements?

no saṅkappanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati saññānānattaṁ, no saññānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhātunānattaṁ?

The sight element gives rise to the perception of sights …

Rūpadhātuṁ, bhikkhave, paṭicca uppajjati rūpasaññā …pe…

The thought element gives rise to the perception of thoughts …

dhammadhātuṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammasaññā, dhammasaññaṁ paṭicca uppajjati …pe…

The search for thoughts gives rise to gaining thoughts.

dhammapariyesanā, dhammapariyesanaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammalābho;

The gaining of thoughts doesn’t give rise to the search for thoughts. The search for thoughts doesn’t give rise to the passion for thoughts. The passion for thoughts doesn’t give rise to the desire for thoughts. The desire for thoughts doesn’t give rise to feeling born of thought contact. Feeling born of thought contact doesn’t give rise to thought contact. Thought contact doesn’t give rise to thoughts about thoughts. Thoughts about thoughts don’t give rise to perceptions of thoughts. Perceptions of thoughts don’t give rise to the thought element.

no dhammalābhaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammapariyesanā, no dhammapariyesanaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammapariḷāho, no dhammapariḷāhaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammacchando, no dhammacchandaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammasamphassajā vedanā, no dhammasamphassajaṁ vedanaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammasamphasso, no dhammasamphassaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammasaṅkappo, no dhammasaṅkappaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammasaññā, no dhammasaññaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhammadhātu.

That’s how diversity of elements gives rise to diversity of perceptions …

Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati saññānānattaṁ, saññānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati …pe…

saṅkappa …

phassa …

vedanā …

chanda …

pariḷāha …

pariyesanā …

lābha …

diversity of perceptions doesn’t give rise to diversity of elements.”

no lābhanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati pariyesanānānattaṁ, no pariyesanānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati pariḷāhanānattaṁ, no pariḷāhanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati chandanānattaṁ, no chandanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati vedanānānattaṁ, no vedanānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati phassanānattaṁ, no phassanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati saṅkappanānattaṁ, no saṅkappanānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati saññānānattaṁ, no saññānānattaṁ paṭicca uppajjati dhātunānattan”ti.

Dasamaṁ.

Nānattavaggo paṭhamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Dhātuphassañca no cetaṁ,

vedanā apare duve;

Etaṁ ajjhattapañcakaṁ,

dhātusaññañca no cetaṁ;
