SN 35.107 The Origin of the World – Lokasamudayasutta

 

Bhikkhū, I will teach you the origin and ending of the world.

“Lokassa, bhikkhave, samudayañca atthaṅgamañca desessāmi.

Listen …

Taṁ suṇātha.

And what, bhikkhū, is the origin of the world?

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, lokassa samudayo?

Eye consciousness arises dependent on the eye and sights. The meeting of the three is contact.

Cakkhuñca paṭicca rūpe ca uppajjati cakkhuviññāṇaṁ. Tiṇṇaṁ saṅgati phasso.

Contact is a condition for feeling.

Phassapaccayā vedanā;

Feeling is a condition for craving.

vedanāpaccayā taṇhā;

Craving is a condition for grasping.

taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ;

Grasping is a condition for continued existence.

upādānapaccayā bhavo;

Continued existence is a condition for rebirth.

bhavapaccayā jāti;

Rebirth is a condition for old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress to come to be.

jātipaccayā jarāmaraṇaṁ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā sambhavanti.

This is the origin of the world. …

Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhave, lokassa samudayo …pe…

jivhañca paṭicca rase ca uppajjati jivhāviññāṇaṁ …pe…

Mind consciousness arises dependent on the mind and thoughts. The meeting of the three is contact.

manañca paṭicca dhamme ca uppajjati manoviññāṇaṁ. Tiṇṇaṁ saṅgati phasso.

Contact is a condition for feeling.

Phassapaccayā vedanā;

Feeling is a condition for craving.

Craving is a condition for grasping.

taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ;

Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhave, lokassa samudayo.

And what is the ending of the world?

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, lokassa atthaṅgamo?

Eye consciousness arises dependent on the eye and sights. The meeting of the three is contact.

Cakkhuñca paṭicca rūpe ca uppajjati cakkhuviññāṇaṁ. Tiṇṇaṁ saṅgati phasso.

Contact is a condition for feeling.

Phassapaccayā vedanā;

Feeling is a condition for craving.

vedanāpaccayā taṇhā.

When that craving fades away and ceases with nothing left over, grasping ceases.

Tassāyeva taṇhāya asesavirāganirodhā upādānanirodho;

When grasping ceases, continued existence ceases.

upādānanirodhā bhavanirodho;

When continued existence ceases, rebirth ceases.

bhavanirodhā jātinirodho;

When rebirth ceases, old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress cease.

jātinirodhā jarāmaraṇaṁ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā nirujjhanti.

That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.

Evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hoti.

This is the ending of the world. …
