SN 35.79 Giving Up Ignorance (1st) – Paṭhamaavijjāpahānasutta
Then a bhikkhu went up to the Buddha …
Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe…
and said to him:
ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
“Sir, is there one thing such that by giving it up a bhikkhu gives up ignorance and gives rise to knowledge?”
“atthi nu kho, bhante, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti?
“There is, bhikkhu.”
“Atthi kho, bhikkhu, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti.
“But what is that one thing?”
“Katamo pana, bhante, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti?
“Ignorance is one thing such that by giving it up a bhikkhu gives up ignorance and gives rise to knowledge.”
“Avijjā kho, bhikkhu, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti.
“But how does a bhikkhu know and see so as to give up ignorance and give rise to knowledge?”
“Kathaṁ pana, bhante, jānato, kathaṁ passato bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti?
“When a bhikkhu knows and sees the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact as anicca, ignorance is given up and knowledge arises.
“Cakkhuṁ kho, bhikkhu, aniccato jānato passato bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjati. Rūpe … cakkhuviññāṇaṁ … cakkhusamphassaṁ …
And also knowing and seeing the pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by eye contact as anicca, ignorance is given up and knowledge arises. …
yampidaṁ, cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi aniccato jānato passato bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjati …pe…
Knowing and seeing the mind, thoughts, mind consciousness, and mind contact as anicca, ignorance is given up and knowledge arises.
manaṁ aniccato jānato passato bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjati. Dhamme … manoviññāṇaṁ … manosamphassaṁ …
And also knowing and seeing the pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact as anicca, ignorance is given up and knowledge arises.
yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi aniccato jānato passato bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjati.
That’s how a bhikkhu knows and sees so as to give up ignorance and give rise to knowledge.”
Evaṁ kho, bhikkhu, jānato evaṁ passato bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti.
