Acinteyya sutta: Unthinkable

Acinteyyasutta

Apaṇṇakavagga

If you try to think about these things you will go mad or get frustrated.

Translations

“Mendicants, these four things are unthinkable. They should not be thought about, and anyone who tries to think about them will go mad or get frustrated. What four?

The domain of the Buddhas …

The domain of one in absorption …

The results of deeds …

Speculation about the world …

These are the four unthinkable things. They should not be thought about, and anyone who tries to think about them will go mad or get frustrated.”
