The Suffering as Conducive to Extinguishment

Dukkhanibbānasappāyasutta

EN
“Mendicants, I will teach you a practice that’s conducive to extinguishment. Listen … And what is that practice that’s conducive to extinguishment? It’s when a mendicant sees that the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact are suffering. And they see that the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on eye contact is also suffering.
PL
“Nibbānasappāyaṁ vo, bhikkhave, paṭipadaṁ desessāmi. Taṁ suṇātha …pe… katamā ca sā, bhikkhave, nibbānasappāyā paṭipadā?
