SN 27.3 Consciousness – Viññāṇasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Bhikkhū, desire and greed for eye consciousness,

“Yo, bhikkhave, cakkhuviññāṇasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

ear consciousness,

Yo sotaviññāṇasmiṁ …

nose consciousness,

yo ghānaviññāṇasmiṁ …

tongue consciousness,

yo jivhāviññāṇasmiṁ …

body consciousness,

yo kāyaviññāṇasmiṁ …

or mind consciousness is a corruption of the mind.

yo manoviññāṇasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.

When a bhikkhu has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation.

Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti.

A mind imbued with renunciation is declared to be capable of directly knowing anything that can be realized.”

Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū”ti.
