Buddhist Holy Day Dhamma (07/09/2025)
Bhikkhus, when there are hands, picking up and putting down are discerned. When there are feet, coming and going are discerned. When there are limbs, bending and stretching are discerned. When there is the belly, hunger and thirst are discerned.
“So too, bhikkhus, when there is the eye, pleasure and pain arise internally with eye-contact as condition. When there is the ear, pleasure and pain arise internally with ear-contact as condition. When there is the nose, pleasure and pain arise internally with nose-contact as condition. When there is the tongue, pleasure and pain arise internally with tongue-contact as condition. When there is the body, pleasure and pain arise internally with body-contact as condition.
When there is the mind, pleasure and pain arise internally with mind-contact as condition.”
