SN 35.148 The Suffering as Conducive to Extinguishment – Dukkhanibbānasappāyasutta

 

Bhikkhū, I will teach you a practice that’s conducive to extinguishment.

“Nibbānasappāyaṁ vo, bhikkhave, paṭipadaṁ desessāmi.

Listen …

Taṁ suṇātha …pe…

And what is that practice that’s conducive to extinguishment?

katamā ca sā, bhikkhave, nibbānasappāyā paṭipadā?

It’s when a bhikkhu sees that the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact are suffering. And they see that the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by eye contact is also suffering.

Idha, bhikkhave, cakkhuṁ dukkhanti passati, rūpā dukkhāti passati, cakkhuviññāṇaṁ dukkhanti passati, cakkhusamphasso dukkhoti passati, yampidaṁ cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi dukkhanti passati …pe…

They see that the ear … nose … tongue … body …

jivhā dukkhāti passati …pe…

mind, thoughts, mind-consciousness, and mind contact are suffering. And they see that the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact is also suffering.

mano dukkhoti passati, dhammā dukkhāti passati, manoviññāṇaṁ dukkhanti passati, manosamphasso dukkhoti passati, yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi dukkhanti passati.

This is that practice that’s conducive to extinguishment.”

Ayaṁ kho sā, bhikkhave, nibbānasappāyā paṭipadā”ti.
