Uddesavibhaṅgasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Majjhimanikāya · Vol. 14 · Section 650

[650] "Friends, that summary (uddesa) which the Blessed One recited to us in brief and then, without analyzing its meaning in detail, rose from his seat and entered the dwelling — namely: 'Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu should examine in such a way that, as he examines, his consciousness (viññāṇa) is neither scattered nor diffused externally, is not stuck internally, and, through not grasping, he would not be anxious. Bhikkhus, when consciousness is neither scattered nor diffused externally, when it is not stuck internally, and when, through not grasping, one is not anxious, there is no future coming-to-be of the origin (samudaya) of the suffering (dukkha) of birth, aging, and death' — of this summary, recited in brief by the Blessed One without its meaning being analyzed in detail, I understand the meaning in detail thus. But if you venerable ones so wish, you should approach the Blessed One himself and question him about this matter; as the Blessed One answers you, so should you remember it."
