SN 23.16 Entailing Suffering – Dukkhadhammasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of ‘things that entail suffering’.

“‘dukkhadhammo, dukkhadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.

What are the things that entail suffering?”

Katamo nu kho, bhante, dukkhadhammo”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, saṅkhāra, and consciousness are things that entail suffering.

“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, dukkhadhammo, vedanā dukkhadhammo, saññā dukkhadhammo, saṅkhārā dukkhadhammo, viññāṇaṁ dukkhadhammo.

Seeing this …

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…

They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
