What are the
primary Components of Suffering?

At Savatthi. While seated, the
Venerable Rādha
asked the Blessed
Buddha:
Venerable Sir, one says:
Māra, Māra! What, Venerable Sir, is Māra?
Form, Rādha, is suffering, feeling is suffering, perception is suffering,
mental constructions are suffering, consciousness is suffering... !
Rādha, you should abandon desire, you should abandon
lust,
you should cease
all desire and all lust, for whatever is a state of Māra ...
for whatever is impermanent ... for whatever is of an impermanent nature ...
for whatever is suffering ... for whatever is of a painful nature ...
for whatever is non-self ... for whatever is of a selfless nature ...
for whatever is a state of
destruction ... for whatever is a state of vanishing ...
for what-ever is a state of arising ... for whatever is
of a nature to cease!
And what, Rādha, is of a nature to cease?
All form is of a nature to cease...
All feeling
is of a nature to cease...
All perception is of a nature to
cease...
All mental constructions are of a
nature to cease...
All consciousness is
of a nature to cease...
Understanding this, Bhikkhu, a well instructed Noble Disciple experiences
disgust towards form, disgust towards feeling, disgust towards perception,
disgust towards mental construction, & disgust towards consciousness itself!
Experiencing disgust, he becomes disillusioned! Through disillusion his mind
is released. When it is released, he instantly knows: This mind is liberated,
and he understands: Extinguished is rebirth, this Noble Life is all completed,
done is what should be done, there is no state of being beyond this...

Gaining one more womb, stranded on
yet another placental afterbirth is no victory!
