The First Discourse on the Exhaustion of All Clinging
61.
"I will expound to you, monks, the Teaching for the exhaustion of all clinging.
Listen to that.
And what, monks, is the teaching for the exhaustion of all clinging?
Dependent on the eye and visible forms, eye-consciousness arises.
The meeting of the three is contact.
With contact as condition, feeling.
Seeing thus, monks, a learned noble disciple becomes disenchanted with the eye, becomes disenchanted with visible forms, becomes disenchanted with eye-consciousness, becomes disenchanted with eye-contact, becomes disenchanted with feeling.
Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate;
through dispassion, he becomes liberated;
through deliverance, he understands: 'Clinging has been brought to an end by me.' Etc.
Dependent on the tongue and flavours, tongue-consciousness arises. Etc.
dependent on the mind and mental phenomena, mind-consciousness arises.
The meeting of the three is contact.
With contact as condition, feeling.
Seeing thus, monks, a learned noble disciple becomes disenchanted with the mind, becomes disenchanted with mental phenomena, becomes disenchanted with mind-consciousness, becomes disenchanted with mind-contact, becomes disenchanted with feeling.
Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate;
through dispassion, he becomes liberated;
through deliverance, he understands: 'Clinging has been brought to an end by me.'
This, monks, is the teaching for the exhaustion of all clinging."
