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 is not concerned with 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 is not concerned with 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.
