Then Venerable Uttiya went up to the Buddha \u2026 and asked him, \u201cJust now, sir, as I was in private retreat this thought came to mind. \u2018The Buddha has spoken of the five kinds of sensual stimulation. What are they?\u2019\u201d \u201cGood, good, Uttiya! I have spoken of these five kinds of sensual stimulation. What five? Sights known by the eye, which are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. Sounds known by the ear \u2026 Smells known by the nose \u2026 Tastes known by the tongue \u2026 Touches known by the body, which are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. These are the five kinds of sensual stimulation that I\u2019ve spoken of. The noble eightfold path should be developed to give up these five kinds of sensual stimulation. What is the noble eightfold path? It is right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. This is the noble eightfold path that should be developed to give up these five kinds of sensual stimulation.\u201d","title":"With Uttiya","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":175}
