Ajjhattadukkhahetu sutta: Interior and Cause Are Suffering

Ajjhattadukkhahetusutta

Devadahavagga

Since the causes of the six interior sense fields are suffering, how can the senses be free of suffering?

“Mendicants, the eye is suffering. The cause and reason that gives rise to the eye is also suffering. Since the eye is produced by what is suffering, how could it be happiness?

The ear … nose … tongue … body … mind is suffering. The cause and reason that gives rise to the mind is also suffering. Since the mind is produced by what is suffering, how could it be happiness?

Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
