44 CHAPTER 3. MIDDLE-LENGTH SAYINGS “He grows disenchanted with the nose. . . . “He grows disenchanted with the tongue. . . . “He grows disenchanted with the body. . . . “He grows disenchanted with the intellect, disenchanted with ideas, disenchanted with consciousness at the intellect, disenchanted with contact at the intellect, disenchanted with feeling, disenchanted with craving. Disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion, he is fully released. With full release, there is the knowledge, ‘Fully released.’ He discerns that ‘Birth is ended, the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world.’” That is what the Blessed One said. Gratified, the monks delighted at his words. And while this explanation was being given, the hearts of 60 monks, through no clinging (not being sustained), were fully released from fermentation/effluents.
Chapter 4 Dīgha Nikȳa The Long Discourses 4.1 Dīgha Nikāya 15 Mahanidāna Sutta The Great Causes Discourse Translator’s Introduction This is one of the most profound discourses in the Pali Canon. It gives an extended treatment of the teachings of dependent coarising (paṭicca samuppāda) and not-self (anatta) in an outlined context of how these teachings function in practice. The first part of the discourse takes the factors of dependent coarising in sequence from effect to cause, tracing them down to the mutual dependency of name-and-form (mental and physical activity) on the one hand, and consciousness on the other. In connection with this point, it is worth noting that the word “great” in the title of the discourse may have a double meaning: modifying the word “discourse”—it’s a long discourse—and modifying “causes,” referring to the fact that name-and-form and consciousness as causal factors can account for everything describable in the cosmos. After tracing the basic sequence of factors in the causal pattern, the discourse then reviews their inter-relationships, showing how they can explain stress and suffering both on the individual and on the social level. The second part of the discourse, taking up the teaching of notself, shows how dependent co-arising gives focus to this teaching in practice. It begins with a section on Delineations of a Self, 45
