Taking Pleasure Abhinandasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

“Mendicants, if you take pleasure in the earth element, you take pleasure in suffering. “Yo, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuṁ abhinandati, dukkhaṁ so abhinandati. If you take pleasure in suffering, you’re not free from suffering, I say. Yo dukkhaṁ abhinandati, aparimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi. If you take pleasure in the water element … Yo āpodhātuṁ abhinandati …pe… If you take pleasure in the fire element … yo tejodhātuṁ … If you take pleasure in the air element, you take pleasure in suffering. yo vāyodhātuṁ abhinandati, dukkhaṁ so abhinandati. If you take pleasure in suffering, you’re not free from suffering, I say. Yo dukkhaṁ abhinandati, aparimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi.

If you don’t take pleasure in the earth element, you don’t take pleasure in suffering. Yo ca kho, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuṁ nābhinandati, dukkhaṁ so nābhinandati. If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, you’re free from suffering, I say. Yo dukkhaṁ nābhinandati, parimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmi. If you don’t take pleasure in the water element … Yo āpodhātuṁ …pe… If you don’t take pleasure in the fire element … yo tejodhātuṁ … If you don’t take pleasure in the air element, you don’t take pleasure in suffering. yo vāyodhātuṁ nābhinandati, dukkhaṁ so nābhinandati. If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, you’re free from suffering, I say.” Yo dukkhaṁ nābhinandati, parimutto so dukkhasmāti vadāmī”ti.
