The Interior as Suffering in the Three TimesAjjhattadukkhātītānāgatasutta

“Mendicants, the eye of the past and future is suffering,“Cakkhuṁ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ atītānāgataṁ; let alone the present.ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with the eye of the past,Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ cakkhusmiṁ anapekkho hoti; they don’t look forward to enjoying the eye in the future,anāgataṁ cakkhuṁ nābhinandati; and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the eye in the present. …”paccuppannassa cakkhussa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.
