On Immersion at Jīvaka’s Mango Grove

Jīvakambavanasamādhisutta

At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha in Jīvaka’s Mango Grove. There the Buddha addressed the mendicants: “Mendicants, develop immersion.

Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati jīvakambavane. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: “bhikkhavo”ti …pe… “samādhiṁ, bhikkhave, bhāvetha.

For a mendicant with immersion, things become truly clear. And what becomes truly clear? It becomes truly clear that the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact are impermanent. And it also becomes truly clear that the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on eye contact is impermanent.

Samāhitassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati. Kiñca yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati? Cakkhuṁ aniccanti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati, rūpā aniccāti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati, cakkhuviññāṇaṁ aniccanti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati, cakkhusamphasso aniccoti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati, yampidaṁ cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi aniccanti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati …pe…

It becomes truly clear that the ear … nose … tongue … body … mind, ideas, mind consciousness, and mind contact are impermanent. And it also becomes truly clear that the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on mind contact is impermanent. Mendicants, develop immersion.

jivhā aniccāti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati …pe… mano aniccoti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati, dhammā aniccāti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati …pe… yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi aniccanti yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyati. Samādhiṁ, bhikkhave, bhāvetha.

For a mendicant with immersion, things become truly clear.”

Samāhitassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno yathābhūtaṁ okkhāyatī”ti. Pañcamaṁ.
