The Discourse on the Eye

312. At Sāvatthī. "Whatever, monks, is the arising, presence, production, manifestation of the eye, this is the arising of suffering, the presence of diseases, the manifestation of ageing and death. Whatever is the arising, presence of the ear, etc. Whatever is the arising, presence of the nose... Whatever is the arising, presence of the tongue... Whatever is the arising, presence of the body... Whatever is the arising, presence, production, manifestation of the mind, this is the arising of suffering, the presence of diseases, the manifestation of ageing and death. But whatever, monks, is the cessation, appeasement, passing away of the eye, this is the cessation of suffering, the appeasement of diseases, the passing away of ageing and death. Whatever is the cessation of the ear, etc. Whatever is the cessation of the nose... Whatever is the cessation of the tongue... Whatever is the cessation of the body... Whatever is the cessation, appeasement, passing away of the mind, this is the cessation of suffering, the appeasement of diseases, the passing away of ageing and death." The first.
