SN 35.144 - Exterior and Cause Are Suffering Translated by Bhikkhu Sujato Source: https://suttacentral.net/sn35.144/en/sujato License: CC0-1.0 Linked Discourses 35.144 14. At Devadaha Exterior and Cause Are Suffering “Mendicants, sights are suffering. The cause and reason that gives rise to sights is also suffering. Since sights are produced by what is suffering, how could they be happiness? Sounds … Smells … Tastes … Touches … Ideas are suffering. The cause and reason that gives rise to ideas is also suffering. Since ideas are produced by what is suffering, how could they be happiness? Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
