SN 35.24 Giving Up – Pahānasutta

 

Bhikkhū, I will teach you the principle for giving up the all.

“Sabbappahānāya vo, bhikkhave, dhammaṁ desessāmi.

Listen …

Taṁ suṇātha.

And what is the principle for giving up the all?

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sabbappahānāya dhammo?

The eye should be given up. Sights should be given up. Eye consciousness should be given up. Eye contact should be given up. The painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by eye contact should also be given up.

Cakkhuṁ, bhikkhave, pahātabbaṁ, rūpā pahātabbā, cakkhuviññāṇaṁ pahātabbaṁ, cakkhusamphasso pahātabbo, yampidaṁ cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi pahātabbaṁ …pe…

The ear … nose …

tongue …

jivhā pahātabbā, rasā pahātabbā, jivhāviññāṇaṁ pahātabbaṁ, jivhāsamphasso pahātabbo, yampidaṁ jivhāsamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi pahātabbaṁ.

body …

Kāyo pahātabbo …

mind should be given up. Thoughts should be given up. Mind consciousness should be given up. Mind contact should be given up. The painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact should be given up.

mano pahātabbo, dhammā pahātabbā, manoviññāṇaṁ pahātabbaṁ, manosamphasso pahātabbo, yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi pahātabbaṁ.

This is the principle for giving up the all.”

Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhave, sabbappahānāya dhammo”ti.
