Datthabba Sutta: To Be Known
“There
are, O monks, these three feelings: pleasant, painful and
neither-painful-nor-pleasant. Pleasant feelings should be known as painful,
painful feelings should be known as a thorn, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant
feelings should be known as impermanent. If a monk has known the feelings in
such a way, it is said of him that he has the right outlook. He has cut off
craving, severed the fetters (to existence) and, through the full penetration of
conceit, he has made an end of suffering.”
Who sees the pain in happiness and views the painful
feeling as a thorn, perceives the transience in neutral feeling which is
peaceful β right outlook, truly, has such a monk who fully understands these
feelings; And having penetrated them, he will be taint-free in this very life.
Mature in knowledge, firm in Dhamma’s ways, when once his life-span ends, his
body breaks, all measure and concept he has transcended.
