1 “O bhikkhus, I will expound for you a Dhamma exposition in its penetrative unfolding. Listen to that and do mind it well, I will speak.”.“Yes Bhante,” those bhikkhus replied to the Auspicious One. The Auspicious One said this:

2 And what, O bhikkhus, is the Dhamma exposition in its penetrative unfolding.

The results of sensual pleasures should be known. The cessation of sensual pleasures should be known. The path leading to the cessation of sensual pleasures should be known.” Yet, this was said thus. On account of what was this said?

10 There are, O bhikkhus, these five cords of sensual pleasure. Which five? Forms cognizable by the eye that are agreeable, lovely, pleasing, endearing, connected with sensual pleasures, provocative of lust. Sounds cognizable by the ear that are agreeable, lovely, pleasing, endearing, connected with sensual pleasures, provocative of lust. Aromas cognizable by the nose that are agreeable, lovely, pleasing, endearing, connected with sensual pleasures, provocative of lust. Flavors cognizable by the tongue that are agreeable, lovely, pleasing, endearing, connected with sensual pleasures, provocative of lust. Tangibles cognizable by the body that are agreeable, lovely, pleasing, endearing, connected with sensual pleasures, provocative of lust. These, O bhikkhus, are called the five cords of sensual pleasure.

“Lustful motives are sensual pleasures for a man,
the beautiful things in the world are not sensual pleasures;
lustful thoughts are sensual pleasures for a man,
the beautiful things in the world remain as they are,
the wise remove the desire with regard to them.”

11 And what, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of sensual pleasures? Contact, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of sensual pleasures.

12 And what, O bhikkhus, is the diversity of sensual pleasures? Sensual pleasures in forms, O bhikkhus, is one. Sensual pleasures in sounds is another. Sensual pleasures in aromas is still another. Sensual pleasures in flavors is still another. Sensual pleasures in tangibles is still another. This, O bhikkhus, is called the diversity of sensual pleasures.

13 And what, O bhikkhus, is the result of sensual pleasures? While experiencing sensual pleasures, O bhikkhus, one actualizes that very corresponding self-begetting which results in either merit or demerit. This, O bhikkhus, is called the result of sensual pleasures.

14 And what, O bhikkhus, is the cessation of sensual pleasures? From the cessation of contact, O bhikkhus, there is the cessation of sensual pleasures.

15 It is just this very noble eightfold path that leads to the cessation of sensual pleasures. That is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right samadhi.

16 When, O bhikkhus, a noble disciple wisely understands sensual pleasures thus, wisely understands the source and origin of sensual pleasures thus, wisely understands the diversity of sensual pleasures thus, wisely understands the results of sensual pleasures thus, wisely understands the cessation of sensual pleasures thus, wisely understands the path leading to the cessation of sensual pleasures thus, he wisely understands this penetrative life of purity to be the cessation of sensual pleasures.

20 And what, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of feeling? Contact, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of feeling.

There is, O bhikkhus, sensual pleasant feeling, there is non-sensual pleasant feeling, there is sensual painful feeling, there is non-sensual painful feeling, there is sensual neither painful nor pleasant feeling, there is non-sensual neither painful nor pleasant feeling. This O bhikkhus, is called the diversity of feeling.

22 And what, O bhikkhus, is the result of feeling? While experiencing feeling, O bhikkhus, one actualizes that very corresponding self-begetting which results in either merit or demerit. This, O bhikkhus, is called the result of feeling.

23 And what, O bhikkhus, is the cessation of feeling? With the cessation of contact, O bhikkhus, there is the cessation of feeling?

24 It is just this very noble eightfold path that leads to the cessation of feeling. That is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right samadhi.

30 And what, O bhikkhus, is the diversity of perception? Perception of forms, O bhikkhus, is one. Perception of sounds is another. Perception of aromas is still another. Perception of flavors is still another. Perception of tangibles is still another. This, O bhikkhus, is called the diversity of perception.

31 And what, O bhikkhus, is the result of perception? Perception, O bhikkhus, ripens in expression, I say. For whatever one perceives, it is just that, that one expresses: “I was percipient thus.” This, O bhikkhus, is called the results of perception.

32 And what, O bhikkhus, is the cessation of perception? With the cessation of contact, O bhikkhus, there is the cessation of perception.

33 It is just this very noble eightfold path that leads to the cessation of perception. That is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right samadhi.

34 When, O bhikkhus, a noble disciple wisely understands perception thus, wisely understands the source and origin of perception thus, wisely understands the diversity of perception thus, wisely understands the results of perception thus, wisely understands the cessation of perception thus, wisely understands the path leading to the cessation of perception thus, he wisely understands this penetrative life of purity to be the cessation of perception.

37 There are, O bhikkhus, these three asavas. The asava of sensual desire, the asava of being, the asava of ignorance.

38 And what, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of asavas? Ignorance, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of asavas.

There are, O bhikkhus, asavas leading to hell; there are asavas leading to the animal womb; there are asavas leading to the realm of ghosts; there are asavas leading to the world of human beings; there are asavas leading to the deva world. This, O bhikkhus, is called the diversity of asavas.

40 And what, O bhikkhus, is the result of asavas? One entrenched in ignorance, O bhikkhus, actualizes that very corresponding self-begetting which results in either merit or demerit. This, O bhikkhus, is called the result of asavas.

41 And what, O bhikkhus, is the cessation of asavas? With the cessation of ignorance, O bhikkhus, there is the cessation of asavas.

42 It is just this very noble eightfold path that leads to the cessation of asavas. That is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right samadhi.

The cessation of kamma should be known. The path leading to the cessation of kamma should be known.” Yet, this was said thus. On account of what was this said?

46 It is intention, O bhikkhus, that I call kamma. For having intended, one acts by body, speech, or mind.

47 And what, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of kamma? Contact, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of kamma.

48 And what, O bhikkhus, is the diversity of kamma?

This, O bhikkhus, is called the diversity of kamma.

49 And what, O bhikkhus, is the results of kamma? The results of kamma, O bhikkhus, is threefold, I say: In this life or in the [next] arising or some other [arisings] in succession. This, O bhikkhus, is called the results of kamma.

The cessation of suffering should be known. The path leading to the cessation of suffering should be known.” Yet, this was said thus. On account of what was this said?

55 Birth is suffering; also old age is suffering; also sickness is suffering; also death is suffering; also sorrow; lamentation; physical suffering; mental suffering and despair are suffering; also not to gain what one wishes is suffering. In brief, the five appropriable khandhas are suffering.

56 And what, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of suffering? Thirsting, O bhikkhus, is the source and origin of suffering.

57 And what, O bhikkhus, is the diversity of suffering? There is, O bhikkhus, suffering that is extreme; there is suffering that is slight; there is suffering that fades away slowly, there is suffering that fades away quickly. This, O bhikkhus, is called the diversity of suffering.

58 And what, O bhikkhus, are the results of suffering? Here, O bhikkhus, a certain person overpowered by suffering, with his mind overwhelmed by it, grieves, becomes distressed, laments, wails beating his breast, falls into confusion. Yet another person overpowered by suffering, with his mind overwhelmed by it, embarks on a search outside [thinking:] “Who wisely understands a thing or two for the cessation of suffering without a trace?” Suffering, O bhikkhus, ripens in bewilderment or ripens in a search, I say.

59 And what, O bhikkhus, is the cessation of suffering: With the cessation of thirsting, O bhikkhus, there is the cessation of suffering.

60 It is just this very noble eightfold path that leads to the cessation of suffering. That is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right samadhi.

61 When, O bhikkhus, a noble disciple wisely understands suffering thus, wisely understands the source and origin of suffering thus, wisely understands the diversity of suffering thus, wisely understands the results of suffering thus, wisely understands the cessation of suffering thus, wisely understands the path leading to the cessation of suffering thus, he wisely understands this penetrative life of purity to be the cessation of suffering.
