At one time, the Buddha lived in the Garden of Solitude in the Gion Grove of the Acropolis. One day, a Brahmin came to the Buddha's residence, and after greeting the Buddha, he sat down on the side, and the Brahmin said to the Buddha, "Gautama, I have a question for you, can you answer it for me?"

The Buddha replied, "Brahmin, if you have any questions, please say." ”

Brahmins say, "The body is feelings, feelings are bodies, everyone's various feelings belong to themselves, feelings are part of the body, isn't that right?"

The Buddha said, "Brahman, this is an extreme statement. If you don't think this is the right opinion. ”

Brahman said, "Then the body and the feeling are separate, not the same thing." Each person's various feelings are not their own, and feelings are not part of the body. Feelings and bodies are two different things, right?"

The Buddha said, "Brahman, this is also an extreme statement, and it is also an incorrect opinion to think that such an opinion is also an incorrect view. ”

The Brahmin said, "Gautama, then I don't understand, what is it like?

The Buddha said: "Brahmins, if you do not worry about and cling to the two extreme views you just mentioned, if you are in the middle path, you say that "action" is produced by "ignorance" as a prerequisite, "knowledge" is produced by "action" as a prerequisite, "name" is produced by "name" as a precondition, "six places" is produced by "six places" as a precondition, "touch" is produced with "touch" as a prerequisite, "receive" is produced with "receive" as a prerequisite, "love" is produced with "acceptance" as a prerequisite As a prerequisite produces "taking", taking "taking" as a prerequisite produces "being", and taking "have" as a precondition produces "birth", so that having "birth" will produce sorrow, sadness, distress, worry, despair, aging, and death. This is the process by which the sufferings and troubles of people or beings in the world gather and appear, and people or beings in the world will continue to suffer and sink in the cycle of life and death according to the method of dependent origin (explained by the method of dependent origin, see chapters 48 and 49).

When "ignorance" completely fades, disappears, and disappears, "doing" is extinguished. When "doing" is destroyed, "knowledge" is destroyed. When "knowledge" is destroyed, "fame" is extinguished. When the "name" is destroyed, the "six places" are destroyed. When the "six places" are destroyed, the "touch" is destroyed. When the "touch" is destroyed, the "receive" is destroyed. When "suffered" is destroyed, "love" is destroyed. When "love" is destroyed, "take" is extinguished. When the "take" is destroyed, the "have" is destroyed. When the "have" is destroyed, the "birth" is destroyed. When "life" is gone, sorrow, sorrow, bitterness, worry, despair, old age, and death are gone. This is the process by which the sufferings and troubles of people or beings in the world are eliminated and destroyed. People or beings in the world can be freed from the troubles and sufferings of the cycle of life and death by following the retrograde movement of the method of dependent origin (explained by the method of dependent origin, see chapters 48 and 49). ”

After listening to the Buddha's teachings, the Brahmin said excitedly: "Dade, what you said is so good, you have solved this problem that has puzzled me for a long time, and I now fully understand that the original feeling is caused by karma! ”

The Buddha accepted the refuge of Brahmins. The Brahmins respectfully bowed to the Buddha, admired the immeasurable merits of the Buddha's teachings, and practiced according to the Buddha's teachings.

　　 46. Sāvatthiyaṃ viharati. Atha kho aññataro brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca–

　　 “Kiṃ nu kho, bho gotama, so karoti so paṭisaṃvedayatī”ti? “‘So karoti so paṭisaṃvedayatī’ti kho, brāhmaṇa, ayameko anto”.

　　 “Kiṃ pana, bho gotama, añño karoti, añño paṭisaṃvedayatī”ti? “‘Añño karoti, añño paṭisaṃvedayatī’ti kho, brāhmaṇa, ayaṃ dutiyo anto. Ete te, brāhmaṇa, ubho ante anupagamma majjhena tathāgato dhammaṃ deseti– ‘avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā; saṅkhārapaccayā viññāṇaṃ …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti. Avijjāya tveva asesavirāganirodhā saṅkhāranirodho; saṅkhāranirodhā viññāṇanirodho …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī’”ti.

　　 Evaṃ vutte, so brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca– “abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, …pe… upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gatan”ti. Chaṭṭhaṃ.
