Samyutta Nikaya

Suffering With Its Cause

Early Buddhist TextsSamyutta Nikaya

At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, form is suffering. The cause and reason that gives rise to form is also suffering. Since form is produced by what is suffering, how could it be happiness? Feeling is suffering … Perception is suffering … Choices are suffering … Consciousness is suffering. The cause and reason that gives rise to consciousness is also suffering. Since consciousness is produced by what is suffering, how could it be happiness? Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
