Khandhasutta

The Aggregates

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.

“Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula,
“What do you think, Rāhula?

rūpaṁ niccaṁ vā aniccaṁ vā”ti?
Is form permanent or impermanent?”

“Aniccaṁ, bhante” …
“Impermanent, sir.” …

“vedanā …pe…
“… feeling …

saññā …
perception …

saṅkhārā …
choices …

viññāṇaṁ niccaṁ vā aniccaṁ vā”ti?
Is consciousness permanent or impermanent?”

“Aniccaṁ, bhante” …
“Impermanent, sir.” …

“evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpasmimpi nibbindati …pe… vedanāyapi nibbindati … saññāyapi nibbindati … saṅkhāresupi nibbindati … viññāṇasmimpi nibbindati;
“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness.

nibbindaṁ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati; vimuttasmiṁ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṁ hoti.
Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they’re freed, they know they’re freed.

‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’”

Dasamaṁ.

Paṭhamo vaggo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Cakkhu rūpañca viññāṇaṁ,

samphasso vedanāya ca;

Saññā sañcetanā taṇhā,

dhātu khandhena te dasāti.
