The Discourse on the Unborn
43.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"There is, monks, the unborn, the not become, the unmade, the unconditioned. If, monks, there were not this unborn, not become, unmade, unconditioned, no escape from what is born, become, made, conditioned would be evident here. But because, monks, there is the unborn, the not become, the unmade, the unconditioned, therefore escape from what is born, become, made, conditioned is evident." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
Conjoined with ageing and death, a seat of disease, perishable.
Its escape is peaceful, unattainable by mere reasoning, everlasting.
The cessation of phenomena subject to suffering, the peace of activities is happiness."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The sixth.
