Suffering
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“‘dukkhaṁ, dukkhan’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘suffering’.
Katamaṁ nu kho, bhante, dukkhan”ti?
What is suffering?”
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, dukkhaṁ, vedanā dukkhā, saññā dukkhā, saṅkhārā dukkhā, viññāṇaṁ dukkhaṁ.
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are suffering.
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
Seeing this …
nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
Pañcamaṁ.
