[1][than][olds][bodh] Thus have I heard:
The Exalted One was once staying near Sāvatthī, at Jeta Grove, in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.
Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:
"Brethren."
"Lord," responded those brethren to the Exalted One.
The Exalted One said:
"I will show you a teaching, Brethren,
for the abandoning the all.
Do ye listen to it.
And what, Brethren, is the teaching
for the abandoning of the all?
[9] The eye, Brethren, must be abandoned,
objects must be abandoned,
eye-consciousness must be abandoned
eye-contact must be abandoned.
That weal
or woe
or neutral state experienced
which arises owing to eye-contact, -
that also must be abandoned.|| ||
■
The ear, Brethren, must be abandoned,
sounds must be abandoned,
ear-consciousness must be abandoned
ear-contact must be abandoned.
That weal
or woe
or neutral state experienced
which arises owing to ear-contact, -
that also must be abandoned.|| ||
■
The nose, Brethren, must be abandoned,
scents must be abandoned,
nose-consciousness must be abandoned
nose-contact must be abandoned.
That weal
or woe
or neutral state experienced
which arises owing to nose-contact, -
that also must be abandoned.|| ||
■
The tongue, Brethren, must be abandoned,
savours must be abandoned,
tongue-consciousness must be abandoned
tongue-contact must be abandoned.
That weal
or woe
or neutral state experienced
which arises owing to tongue-contact, -
that also must be abandoned.|| ||
■
The body, Brethren, must be abandoned,
things tactile must be abandoned,
body-consciousness must be abandoned
body-contact must be abandoned.
That weal
or woe
or neutral state experienced
which arises owing to body-contact, -
that also must be abandoned.|| ||
■
The mind, Brethren, must be abandoned,
mind-states must be abandoned,
mind-consciousness must be abandoned
mind-contact must be abandoned.
That weal
or woe
or neutral state experienced
which arises owing to mind-contact, -
that also must be abandoned.|| ||
This, Brethren, is the teaching for the abandoning of the all."[1]
