Dutiyaānandasutta

With Ānanda (2nd)

Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him,

“katamā nu kho, ānanda, vedanā, katamo vedanāsamudayo, katamo vedanānirodho, katamā vedanānirodhagāminī paṭipadā?
“Ānanda, what is feeling? What’s the origin of feeling? What’s the cessation of feeling? What’s the practice that leads to the cessation of feeling?

Ko vedanāya assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṁ nissaraṇan”ti?
And what is feeling’s gratification, drawback, and escape?”

“Bhagavaṁmūlakā no, bhante, dhammā bhagavaṁnettikā bhagavaṁpaṭisaraṇā. Sādhu, bhante, bhagavantaññeva paṭibhātu etassa bhāsitassa attho. Bhagavato sutvā bhikkhū dhāressantī”ti.
“Our teachings are rooted in the Buddha. He is our guide and our refuge. Sir, may the Buddha himself please clarify the meaning of this. The mendicants will listen and remember it.”

“Tena hi, ānanda, suṇohi, sādhukaṁ manasi karohi; bhāsissāmī”ti.
“Well then, Ānanda, listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.”

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.
“Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.

Bhagavā etadavoca:
The Buddha said this:

“tisso imā, ānanda, vedanā—
“Ānanda, there are these three feelings:

sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā—
pleasant, painful, and neutral.

imā vuccanti, ānanda, vedanā …pe…
These are called feeling. …

phassasamudayā …pe…

khīṇāsavassa bhikkhuno rāgo paṭippassaddho hoti, doso paṭippassaddho hoti, moho paṭippassaddho hotī”ti.
For a mendicant who has ended the defilements, greed, hate, and delusion have been tranquilized.”

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
