If someone’s delight arises from suffering, I say they are not liberated from suffering. If someone’s delight arises from the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind, then their delight arises from suffering. If someone’s delight arises from suffering, I say they are not liberated from suffering. ### [194.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-patton.194.p3) “Monks, if someone’s delight doesn’t arise from the eye, then their delight doesn’t arise from suffering. If someone’s delight doesn’t arise from suffering, I say they are liberated from suffering. If someone’s delight doesn’t arise from the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind, then their delight doesn’t arise from suffering. If someone’s delight doesn’t arise from suffering, I say they are liberated from suffering.” ### [194.p4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-patton.194.p4) After the Buddha spoke this sūtra, the monks who heard what the Buddha taught rejoiced and approved. ### [194.p5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-patton.194.p5) This sūtra is part of the Dharma Pearls translation project. ### [194.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-patton.194.p6) Prepared by Charles Patton for SuttaCentral. ## Linked texts (1) - [雜阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.194.1-3) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-patton.194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-patton.194) · Pramāṇa
