The word ‘bottomless chasm’ is actually a designation for painful bodily feeling. ― When an uninstructed run-of-the-mill person is touched by a painful bodily feeling, he sorrows, grieves, & laments, beats his breast, becomes distraught. This is called an uninstructed run-of-the-mill person who has not risen up out of the bottomless chasm, who has not gained a foothold. ― When a well-instructed disciple of the noble ones is touched by a painful bodily feeling, he does not sorrow, grieve, or lament, does not beat his breast or become distraught. This is called a well-instructed disciple of the noble ones who has risen up out of the bottomless chasm, whose foothold is gained. ☀―Whoever can’t endure them once they’ve arisen—painful bodily feelings that could kill living beings— who trembles at their touch, who cries & wails, a weakling with no resilience: He hasn’t risen up out of the bottomless chasm or even gained a foothold. Whoever endures them once they’ve arisen— painful bodily feelings that could kill living beings— who doesn’t tremble at their touch: He’s risen up out of the bottomless chasm; his foothold is gained. ―☀― #Phassamulaka Sutta SN 36.10: ☀Rooted in Sense-impression translated by Nyanaponika Thera ☀ There are, O monks, these three feelings, rooted in sense-impression, caused by sense-impression, conditioned by sense-impression: pleasant, painful and neutral feelings. ―☀Dependent on a sense-impression that is liable to be felt as pleasurable, there arises a pleasant feeling. When that very sense-impression liable to be felt as pleasurable has ceased, then the sensation born from it — namely the pleasant feeling that arose dependent on that sense-impression — also ceases and is stilled. ― Dependent on a sense-impression that is liable to be felt as painful, there arises a painful feeling. When that very sense-impression liable to be felt as painful has ceased, then the sensation born from it — namely the painful feeling that arose dependent on that sense-impression — also ceases and is stilled. ― Dependent on a sense-impression that is liable to be felt as neutral, there arises a neutral feeling. When that very sense-impression liable to be felt as neutral has ceased, then the sensation born from it — namely the neutral feeling that arose dependent on that sense-impression — also ceases and is stilled. ☀― Just as from the coming together and rubbing of two sticks of wood heat results and fire is produced, and by the separation and disconnection of the sticks, the heat produced by them ceases and disappears, so it is also with these three feelings which are born of sense-impression, rooted in sense-impression, caused by sense-impression, dependent on sense-impression: dependent on a sense-impression of a certain kind there arises a corresponding feeling; by the cessation of that sense-impression the corresponding feeling ceases. 💥 ➡️Cont. - #Rahogata Sutta SN 36.11: ☀Alone - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu ☀ Tomorrow’s Post 💥
