Settlement II

Abhinivesa 2 (SN 22.158)

1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One lived in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.

2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there:

3. “Monks, mindful grasping and continual support of what is the attached settlement and seizing?”

4 “Venerable sir, the Blessed One is the leader for the Teaching, hearing it from the Blessed One the monks will bear it in mind.”

“Then monks, listen carefully, I will tell you.

5. “Monks, mindful grasping and continual support by matter is the attached settlement and seizing.

6-8. “Monks, mindful grasping and continual support by feelings, perceptions, and intentions is the attached settlement and seizing.

9. “Monks, mindful grasping and continual support by consciousness is the attached settlement and seizing.

10. “Monks, is matter permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”

“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”

“That which is impermanent, unpleasant and a changing thing, is it suitable to be reflected, it is mine, I am that and it is my self?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

13. “Are feelings, perceptions, and intentions permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, they are impermanent.”

“Those which are impermanent, are they unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, they are unpleasant.”

“Those which are impermanent, unpleasant, changing are they suitable to be reflected, `They are mine, I am there they are my self?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

14. “Monks, is consciousness permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”

“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”

“That which is impermanent, unpleasant and a changing thing, is it suitable to be reflected, `It is mine, I am that, it is my self'?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

15. “Monks, the learned noble disciple, seeing this, turns from matter, feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness. Turning, looses interest and is released. Released, he knows, `I am released, birth is destroyed, the holy life is lived to the end, duties are done, and I have nothing more to wish'.”
