The Complete Understanding of All GraspingSabbupādānapariññāsutta

“Mendicants, I will teach you the principle for the complete understanding of all grasping.“Sabbupādānapariññāya vo, bhikkhave, dhammaṁ desessāmi. Listen …Taṁ suṇātha.

And what is the principle for the complete understanding of all grasping?Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sabbupādānapariññāya dhammo?

Eye consciousness arises dependent on the eye and sights. The meeting of the three is contact.Cakkhuñca paṭicca rūpe ca uppajjati cakkhuviññāṇaṁ. Tiṇṇaṁ saṅgati phasso. Contact is a requirement for feeling.Phassapaccayā vedanā.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with the eye, sights, eye consciousness, eye contact, and feeling.Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako cakkhusmimpi nibbindati, rūpesupi nibbindati, cakkhuviññāṇepi nibbindati, cakkhusamphassepi nibbindati, vedanāyapi nibbindati. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they are liberated, they understand: ‘I have completely understood grasping.’Nibbindaṁ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati; vimokkhā ‘pariññātaṁ me upādānan’ti pajānāti.
