[28] "Bhikkhus, it is by directly knowing and fully understanding the all, by becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, that one is capable of the destruction of suffering (dukkha). And what, bhikkhus, is the all by directly knowing and fully understanding which, by becoming dispassionate toward which and abandoning which, one is capable of the destruction of suffering? "The eye, bhikkhus: directly knowing and fully understanding it, becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. Forms: directly knowing and fully understanding them, becoming dispassionate toward them and abandoning them, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. Eye-consciousness: directly knowing and fully understanding it, becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. Eye-contact: directly knowing and fully understanding it, becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. And whatever feeling (vedanā) arises with eye-contact as condition — whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant — that too: directly knowing and fully understanding it, becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. … "The tongue: directly knowing and fully understanding it, becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. Tastes … tongue-consciousness … tongue-contact … and whatever feeling arises with tongue-contact as condition — whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant — that too: directly knowing and fully understanding it, becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. "The body, the mind: directly knowing and fully understanding, becoming dispassionate and abandoning, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. Mental phenomena … mind-consciousness … mind-contact … and whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition — whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant — that too: directly knowing and fully understanding it, becoming dispassionate toward it and abandoning it, one is capable of the destruction of suffering. "This, bhikkhus, is the all by directly knowing and fully understanding which, by becoming dispassionate toward which and abandoning which, one is capable of the destruction of suffering." The fourth.
