At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, when what exists, because of grasping what and insisting on what, do fetters, insistence, shackles, and attachments arise?” “Kismiṁ nu kho, bhikkhave, sati, kiṁ upādāya, kiṁ abhinivissa uppajjanti saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhājjhosānā”ti?

“Our teachings are rooted in the Buddha. …” Bhagavaṁmūlakā no, bhante, dhammā …pe…

“When form exists, because of grasping form and insisting on form, fetters, insistence, shackles, and attachments arise. “rūpe kho, bhikkhave, sati, rūpaṁ upādāya, rūpaṁ abhinivissa uppajjanti saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhājjhosānā. When feeling … Vedanāya sati … perception … saññāya sati … choices … saṅkhāresu sati … consciousness exists, because of grasping consciousness and insisting on consciousness, fetters, insistence, shackles, and attachments arise. viññāṇe sati, viññāṇaṁ upādāya, viññāṇaṁ abhinivissa uppajjanti saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhājjhosānā.

What do you think, mendicants? Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, Is form permanent or impermanent?” rūpaṁ niccaṁ vā aniccaṁ vā”ti?

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

“Yaṁ panāniccaṁ …pe… “But by not grasping what’s impermanent, suffering, and perishable, would fetters, insistence, shackles, and attachments arise?” api nu taṁ anupādāya uppajjeyyuṁ saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhājjhosānā”ti?

“No, sir.” “No hetaṁ, bhante”.

“Seeing this … “Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’” nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.

Navamaṁ.
