14. The Aggregate of Suffering 
(Cùladukkhakkhanda sutta)

---

Like this:

At one time, the Blessed One lived in the Sakka family, in the Kapilavatthu city of Nigrodha (Nibbana).

At that time, a Sakka man Mahatma came to the Blessed One in the place, when he was finished, bowed to him and sat down. After sitting down one side, Mahāma, the Sakka family:

- Lord Buddha, for a long time, I understood this as the teaching of the Exalted: "Greed is the defilement of the mind, the yard is the defilement of the mind, the delusion of the mind." Lord Buddha, I understood this as the teaching of the Exalted: "Greed is the defilement of the mind, the yard is the defilement of the mind, si is the defilement of the mind." Sometimes, however, the dharmas occupy the mind and dwell, the dharma courts occupy the mind and dwell, the sutras occupy the mind and dwell.Lord Buddha, self-thinking: "The law that in itself can not be eliminated, so the invaders penetrate our mind and stay, the law courts penetrate our mind and stay, I and stay?

- This mahatàma, there is a law in He has not been removed, so the invaders penetrate his mind and stay, the courts invade his mind and stay, the sutras penetrate his mind and stay. And this Mahāma, in him can be eliminated, if he does not live in the family, if he does not enjoy the desire. And this Mahāma, because he has not been eliminated, he lived in the family and enjoy the desire.

The desire, fun little, much suffering, more brain, the danger here more. If a saintly disciple seeks to do so with genuine wisdom, but if he does not attain happiness by divorce, by evil, by virtue of dharma, or by another noble one, as he is not immune from the dominant sex. When Mahatma, when the saintly disciple saw this so clearly with such great wisdom: "The lusts, the little pleasures, the miseries, the many brains, the more danger here," and he was blessed due to the descent, the evil evil law of birth or a noble method, such that he is not the dominant sex.

This mahatàma, in the old days, when I was a Bodhisattva, not attain Bodhi, not the Chief Justice, I honestly see with real wisdom: "The little fun, suffering, The danger here is more ", although we have seen with such intellectual wisdom, but I have not attained happiness due to lust, evil lawlessness or other legal noble. And so I know that I am not free from sexual desire. And this Mahapàma, when I can honestly see with true wisdom: "The sex, fun little, much suffering, more brain, the danger here more," and I witnessed the joy of separation evil laws or other legal noble than other noble, so I was not the sex of the dominant.

And this Mahatma, what is the sweet taste of sex? This mahatàma, there are five legal growth of this sex: the ritual due to the eye perceptive, pleasant, pleasant, pleasant, pleasant, corresponds to sex, attractive; cognitive sounds ...; the nose awareness ...; the taste of the tongue ...; the cognitive body, craving, pleasant, pleasant, happy, compatible with sex, attractive. This Mahayana, there are five legal growth of sex. This Mahayana, y on the five measures of growth of this education, there are peanuts and ecstasy up, so is the sweet taste.

And this Mahatma, what is the danger of sex? Here, Mahārmāna, good deeds are nourished by profession, such as counting fingers, as calculations, as estimation, such as farming, such as trading, like cowherd, like archery, as work for the king. , as a profession. He has to withstand the cold, heats up, suffers from the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, heat, sun, reptiles, starved to die of hunger. This Mahayana, such as the danger of education, practical present, in the aggregate, taking sex as a cause, taking sex as a charm, is the source of sex, the cause of sex.

Hey, mahatam, if such a good man effort, so diligent, so diligent, but the property is not to his hands, he lamenting, sadness grumble, chest beat, Province: "Oh, our effort is really useless, our ineffectiveness really does not work." Hey mahāma, so, is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

If Mahārmāma, such good effort, so diligently, so diligently, and such wealth is to his hands, because of the property of the son, he feels the pain, "Why do kings and robbers not rob them, how can they steal from robbers, how can the fire burn off, the water from being washed away, or the unworthy heirs from robbing them?" Even though he is so guarded, the king still robs those possessions, the thieves still rob, the fire is still burning, the water is washed away or the unworthy heirs still rob them. . He is lamenting, sad, crying, chest beat, unconscious man: "What is mine, now I do not have anymore." Hey mahāma, so is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, Mahanama, so do sex workers, sex work due to conditions, by sex as a reason, because the do's fitness, King won the competition with the king, Sat-Delhi won the competition with Sat-Deli, three- la-dispute with Brahmin, householders dispute with householders, mother dispute with the child, the dispute with his mother, father dispute with me, I dispute with his father, brothers dispute with him you fight with me, you fight with him, friends fight with friends. When they engage in disputes, arguments, contention; they break hands with each other; they rock together; they break with each other; they break apart with sword. Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death. Hey mahāma, so is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, this mahatàma, by virtue of humanity ... by virtue of their own conduct, they hold the contradiction, they wear the bow and the name, they are arrayed on two sides, and the name is shot on each other, get the shot together. They shot each other by name, they threw each other with a knife, they cut their heads with the sword. Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death. Hey mahāma, so is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, this mahatàma, by virtue of humanity ... by virtue of humanity, they hold the contradiction, they wear the bow and the name, they destroy the new lacquer lake and the name is shot each other, throw each other, earn swords together. Here, they shot each other by name, they threw each other with a knife, they poured boiling water, they crushed each other with stones, they cut off their heads with the sword. Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death. Hey mahāma, so is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, Mahārmāma, by virtue of being a human being, they break into houses, they rob things, they act like robbers, they ambush the big roads, they go to their wives. . Kinsmen, when caught with such a person, apply the wrongful punishment. They beat with a stick, they beat with a stick, they cut with a claw, they cut off their hands, they cut off their legs, they cut off their limbs, they cut their ears, they cut their noses, cut off their nose, They use criminal punishment (they cut the top of the head into an oyster). The execution area (take the braided braid and squeeze it ...) cover the picture (take the bark for the shirt) ... antelope shape (penalty goat mountain) ... sentence humiliation meat) ... pre-shaped (cut meat into money) ... shaped blocks ... transformed ... high pitched ... they watered with boiling oil, they fed the dogs, they pounded the living, they cut their heads with the sword. Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death. This is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, this mahāma, by virtue of humanity ... by virtue of doing human beings, they live as evil acts of the body, do the evil of the words, do the evil of the mind. Because they live as evil acts of the body, do the evil of the words, do the evil of the mind, when the body of the common body, they are born in the realm of evil, the beast, the land, hell. This Mahayana, such as the danger of the sex, leading to future suffering, is suffering aggregates, due to sexual desire, due to education, due to sex, as the cause, by virtue of the cause.

This is my time in Rajagaha, on Mount Gijjhakuta. At that time, many Nigantha on the slopes of Mount Isigili, on Kalasila, stood up straight, refusing to sit and feeling the sentimental, painful, fierce, sharp sensations. Hey Mahmàma, and then I in the afternoon, from the Pure Meditation stand up, go to the slopes of Isigili, in Kalasila where the Nigantha is, when I came to the Nigantha said to him: "Hien, why are you? Stand up straight, do not sit down and feeling the feeling of compassion, suffering, fierce, sharp like? "

Hey Mama, it is said that these Nigantha answered me as follows: "Sage, Nigantha Nataputta - is all-round, all comments, claiming to have full knowledge as follows: 'Although I go, , there is sleep and consciousness, knowledge is always present in my place. 'He said,' Nigantha, if you have done evil karma in the past, let him kill it with suffering. This devastation in the future is due to the maintenance of the body, the maintenance of the word, the maintenance of the mind in the present, in this place. , the cessation of past kamma, the non-action of the new karma, without the continuation of the future.is entitled to eradicate, because suffering is eradicated, sensations are eradicated; By feeling eradicated, all suffering will be eradicated. And because we accept it, and we tolerate it, we are happy. "

Hey Mahmàma, when told this I say to the Nigantha he is like: "Nibbana, do you know, in the past, you are present or you are not present?" "Sage, we do not know." - "Nibbana, do you know, in the past, you do not do bad karma or bad karma?" "Sage, we do not know." - "Higgins Nigantha, do you know, you do not do karma like this or so?" "Sage, we do not know." - "Higgins Nigantha, do you know: The extent of suffering like this eliminated, the level of suffering like this need to eradicate? Or, when the level of suffering like this was eliminated , all suffering will be eradicated? " "Sage, we do not know.

- "They said, Nigantha you do not know: In the past you were present or you are not present, you do not know, in the past you do not do the negative karma or do the You do not know, You do not do this kind of evil or like that, You do not know, the level of suffering like this was eliminated, the level of suffering like this must be eliminated. the extent of suffering like this has been eradicated from the time all suffering will be eradicated, You do not know, the rightful extinction in the present, the unwholesome and the attainment of the good Faith Nigantha, The fact is that hunters in the world, with bloody hands, make fierce karmic rebirths in human beings. Did you join the ranks of Nigantha? "

- "Gotama sage, happiness can not be achieved through happiness, happiness must be achieved through suffering." Gotama sage, if happiness can be achieved through happiness, then Magadha Seniya Bimbisara la can attain happiness, and King Magadha Seniya Bimbisara live happier than Gotama.

"This saying is really hollowed out by Nigantha Pharaoh, with no thought." Gotama Sage, happiness can not be achieved through happiness, happiness must be achieved through suffering. Gotama, if happiness can be achieved through happiness, Magadha Seniya Bimbisara can attain happiness, and Magadha Seniya Bimbisara is happier than Gotama, and it is here that we should be asked: 'Who among the Sunnah, who is happier, Magadha Seniya Bimbisara or Phra Gotama?'

"Satori Gotama, this word really was said hastily, without thinking: Gotama sage, happiness can not be achieved by happiness, the Magadha Seniya Bimbisara era can be achieved. Let Magadha Seniya Bimbisara live happier than Gotama, let us leave that as such. "Now we ask Gotama: 'Between you, who lives happier, King Magadha Seniya Bimbisara? Phra Gotama?

"Higgins Nigantha, now I will ask you a question, this is also the problem." If you please, answer that question. not moving the body, not say a sound, live pure feeling always seven days and seven nights have not?

"Sage, can not be.

King Magadha Seniya Bimbisara can not move his body, not speak a single word, live pure feeling, always six days and six nights, always five days and five nights, four days and four nights, always three days and three nights, always two days and two nights, always a day and a night?

"Sage, can not be.

"Nigthas, we can not move our body, do not say a word, live pure feeling in one night and night." Speak one word, live purely for pleasure in two days and nights, always for three days and three nights, always for four days and nights, always for five days and nights, always for six days and nights, always in seven day and night Nibbana, what do you think? The fact is, who lives happier, King Magadha Seniya Bimbisara or Ta?

"The fact is, Tonka lived happier than Magadha Seniya Bimbisara."
