6 (3). Not Knowing
3.p1
Thus I have heard: One time, the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Jeta’s Grove of Śrāvastī.
3.p2
It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “When one doesn’t know or understand form and doesn’t stop or become free of desire for it, it’s not possible to stop suffering. Thus, when one doesn’t know or understand feeling … conception … volition … awareness and doesn’t stop or become free of desire for it, it’s not possible to stop suffering.
3.p3
“Monks, if someone knows and understands form and stops and becomes free of desire for it, it’s possible to stop suffering. Thus, if someone knows and understands feeling … conception … volition … awareness and stops and becomes free of desire for it, it’s possible to end suffering.”
3.p4
When the monks heard what the Buddha taught, they rejoiced and approved.
