Suffering in the Three Times Kālattayadukkhasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, form of the past and future is suffering, “Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ; let alone the present. ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past form, Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ rūpasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form, anāgataṁ rūpaṁ nābhinandati; and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form. paccuppannassa rūpassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.

Feeling … Vedanā dukkhā …

Perception … saññā dukkhā …

Choices … saṅkhārā dukkhā …

Consciousness of the past and future is suffering, viññāṇaṁ dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ; let alone the present. ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past consciousness, Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ viññāṇasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness, anāgataṁ viññāṇaṁ nābhinandati; and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.” paccuppannassa viññāṇassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti.

Dasamaṁ.
