Ultimate SolaceParamassāsappattasutta

“Reverend Sāriputta, they speak of this thing called ‘gaining ultimate solace’.“‘Paramassāsappatto, paramassāsappatto’ti, āvuso sāriputta, vuccati. At what point do you gain ultimate solace?”Kittāvatā nu kho, āvuso, paramassāsappatto hotī”ti?

“When a mendicant is freed by not grasping after truly understanding the six fields of contact’s origin, disappearance, gratification, drawback, and escape, at that point they’ve gained ultimate solace.”“Yato kho, āvuso, bhikkhu channaṁ phassāyatanānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ viditvā anupādāvimutto hoti, ettāvatā kho, āvuso, paramassāsappatto hotī”ti.

“But, reverend, is there a path and a practice for realizing this ultimate solace?”“Atthi panāvuso, maggo atthi paṭipadā, etassa paramassāsassa sacchikiriyāyā”ti?

“There is.” …“Atthi kho, āvuso, maggo atthi paṭipadā, etassa paramassāsassa sacchikiriyāyā”ti.
