The End of Relishing Nandikkhayasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, form really is impermanent. A mendicant sees that it is impermanent: that’s their right view. “Aniccaññeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhu rūpaṁ aniccanti passati. Sāssa hoti sammādiṭṭhi. Seeing rightly, they grow disillusioned. Sammā passaṁ nibbindati. When relishing ends, greed ends. When greed ends, relishing ends. Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo, rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo. When relishing and greed end, the mind is freed, and is said to be well freed. Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ vimuttaṁ suvimuttanti vuccati.

Feeling … Aniccaññeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vedanaṁ aniccanti passati. Sāssa hoti sammādiṭṭhi. Sammā passaṁ nibbindati. Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo, rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo. Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ vimuttaṁ suvimuttanti vuccati.

Perception … Aniccaññeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saññaṁ aniccanti passati …pe…

Choices … anicceyeva bhikkhave, bhikkhu saṅkhāre aniccāti passati. Sāssa hoti sammādiṭṭhi. Sammā passaṁ nibbindati. Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo, rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo. Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ vimuttaṁ suvimuttanti vuccati.

Consciousness really is impermanent. A mendicant sees that it is impermanent: that’s their right view. Aniccaññeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhu viññāṇaṁ aniccanti passati. Sāssa hoti sammādiṭṭhi. Seeing rightly, they grow disillusioned. Sammā passaṁ nibbindati. When relishing ends, greed ends. When greed ends, relishing ends. Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo, rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo. When relishing and greed end, the mind is freed, and is said to be well freed.” Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ vimuttaṁ suvimuttanti vuccatī”ti.
