Dukkhanirodhasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Nidānavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 16 · Section 162

[162] The Blessed One said this: "And what, bhikkhus, is the origin of suffering (dukkha)? In dependence on the eye and forms there arises eye-consciousness (cakkhuviññāṇa); the meeting of the three is contact (phassa); with contact as condition, feeling (vedanā); with feeling as condition, craving (taṇhā). This, bhikkhus, is the origin of suffering. In dependence on the ear and sounds ... In dependence on the nose and odours ... In dependence on the tongue and tastes ... In dependence on the body and tangibles ... In dependence on the mind and mental phenomena there arises mind-consciousness (manoviññāṇa); the meeting of the three is contact; with contact as condition, feeling; with feeling as condition, craving. This, bhikkhus, is the origin of suffering."
