Vāta (SN 24.1)
1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.
2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there: “Monks, conscious of what, and grasping and settling in what, arise the view, `Winds do not blow, rivers do not flow, mothers do not give birth, the moon and sun do not rise and set, and like a pillar everything stands still'?”
3. “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.
4. “Monks, conscious of matter, grasping and settling in it, arise the view `winds ...re ... stands still.'
5-7. “Monks, conscious of feelings, perceptions, and intentions, grasping and settling in them arise the view, `Winds ... re stands still.'
8. “Monks, consciously grasping and settling in consciousness arise the view, `Winds ... re ... stands still.'
9. “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.”
“Adhering that it is impermanent, unpleasant, changing, would this view arise, `Winds ... re ... stands still'?”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
10-12. “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.”
“Adhering they are impermanent, unpleasant, changing would the view arise, `Winds ... re ... stands still'?”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
13. 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.”
“Adhering it is impermanent, unpleasant, changing would the view arise, `Winds ... re ... stands still'?”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
14. Monks, are whatever seen, heard, sensed, cognized, achieved, and pursued by the mind permanent or impermanent?”
“Venerable sir, they are impermanent.”
“Those which are impermanent, are they unpleasant or pleasant?”
“Venerable sir, they are unpleasant.”
“Adhering they are impermanent, unpleasant, changing, would the view arise, `Winds ... re ... stands still'?”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
15. “Monks, when the learned noble disciple has dispelled doubts in these six instances, his doubts about unpleasantness, its arising, ceasing, and the method for the cessation of unpleasantness too are dispelled. Monks, to this is said the noble disciple has entered the stream of the Teaching. He would not fall from there and his single aim would be enlightenment.”
