Seizing Pleasant And Unpleasant Feelings

Ajjhatta (SN 22.150)

1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One lived in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.

2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there:

3. “Monks, when what is present and grasping what, do pleasant and unpleasant feelings rise to someone?”

4 “Venerable sir, the Blessed One is the leader for the Teaching, hearing it from the Blessed One the monks will bear it in mind.”

“Then monks, listen carefully, I will tell you.

5. “When mindful of matter, seizing it, pleasant and unpleasant feelings arise to someone.

6-8. “When mindful of feelings, perceptions, and intentions, seizing them, pleasant and unpleasant feelings arise to someone.

9. “Aware of it and seizing consciousness, pleasant and unpleasant feelings arise to someone.

10. “Monks, is matter permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”

“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”

“That which is impermanent, unpleasant, changing, is it suitable to be reflected, `It is mine, I am that, it is my self'?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

13. “Are feelings, perceptions, and intentions permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, they are impermanent.”

“Those which are impermanent are they unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, they are unpleasant.”

“Those which are impermanent, unpleasant, changing are they suitable to be reflected, `They are mine, I am there and they are my self'?”'

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

14. “Monks, is consciousness permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”

“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”

“That which is impermanent, unpleasant, and changing is it suitable to be reflected, `It is mine, I am that, it is my self'?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

15. “Monks, the learned noble disciple, seeing it thus, turns from matter, feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness. Turning, looses interest and is released. Released, he knows, `I am released, birth is destroyed, the holy life is lived to the end, duties are done, and I have nothing more to wish'.”
