The Discourse on Fear
23.
"'Fear', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures;
'suffering', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures;
'disease', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures;
'boil', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures;
'attachment', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures;
'mire', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures.
"And why, monks, is 'fear' a designation for sensual pleasures? This one dyed with sensual lust, monks, bound by desire and lust, is not released from fear pertaining to the present life, nor is he released from fear pertaining to the future life; therefore 'fear' is a designation for sensual pleasures. And why, monks, is 'suffering', etc. 'disease', etc. 'boil', etc. 'attachment', etc. 'mire' a designation for sensual pleasures? This one dyed with sensual lust, monks, bound by desire and lust, is not released from mire pertaining to the present life, nor is he released from mire pertaining to the future life; therefore 'mire' is a designation for sensual pleasures."
These are called sensual pleasures, where the worldling is attached.
Without clinging they become liberated, in the extinction of birth and death.
Having gone beyond all enmity and fear, they have overcome all suffering." The third.
