[180]

[1] Thus have I heard:

The Exalted One was once staying near Sāvatthī
at the Jeta Grove in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

And there the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:

"Brethren!"

"Master!" responded those brethren.

The Exalted One said:

"Brethren, the arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of material forms, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.

The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of sounds, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.

The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of scents, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.

The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of savours, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.

The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of tangibles, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.

The arising,
the establishing,
the rebirth,
the appearing of phenomena, -
this is the arising of suffering,
the establishing of diseases,
the appearing of decay-and-death.

 

§

 

Moreover, brethren, the ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of material forms, -
that is the [181] ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.

The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of sounds,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.

The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of scents, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.

The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of savours, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.

The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of tangibles, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death.

The ceasing,
the calming,
the coming to an end of phenomena, -
that is the ceasing of suffering,
the calming of disease,
the coming to an end of decay-and-death."
