Kālattayadukkhasutta

Suffering in the Three Times

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.

“Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ;
“Mendicants, form of the past and future is suffering,

ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.
let alone the present.

Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ rūpasmiṁ anapekkho hoti;
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past form,

anāgataṁ rūpaṁ nābhinandati;
doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form,

paccuppannassa rūpassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.
and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form.

Vedanā dukkhā …
Feeling …

saññā dukkhā …
Perception …

saṅkhārā dukkhā …
Choices …

viññāṇaṁ dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ;
Consciousness of the past and future is suffering,

ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.
let alone the present.

Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ viññāṇasmiṁ anapekkho hoti;
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past consciousness,

anāgataṁ viññāṇaṁ nābhinandati;
doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness,

paccuppannassa viññāṇassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti.
and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.”

Dasamaṁ.
