Feeling Vedanāsutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

“What do you think, Rāhula? “Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, Is feeling born of eye contact permanent or impermanent?” cakkhusamphassajā vedanā niccā vā aniccā vā”ti?

“Impermanent, sir.” … “Aniccā, bhante” …

“… feeling born of ear contact … “sotasamphassajā vedanā …pe… feeling born of nose contact … ghānasamphassajā vedanā … feeling born of tongue contact … jivhāsamphassajā vedanā … feeling born of body contact … kāyasamphassajā vedanā … Is feeling born of mind contact permanent or impermanent?” manosamphassajā vedanā niccā vā aniccā vā”ti?

“Impermanent, sir.” … “Aniccā, bhante” …

“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with feeling born of eye contact, ear contact, nose contact, tongue contact, body contact, and mind contact. …” “evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako cakkhusamphassajāya vedanāyapi nibbindati …pe… sota … ghāna … jivhā … kāya … manosamphassajāya vedanāyapi nibbindati …pe… pajānātī”ti.
