[55] Then the Blessed One, having dwelt at Uruvelā for as long as he wished, set out on tour toward Gayāsīsa together with a great Saṅgha of bhikkhus (bhikkhu), a thousand bhikkhus, all of them former matted-hair ascetics (purāṇajaṭilā). There the Blessed One dwelt at Gayā, on Gayāsīsa, together with the thousand bhikkhus.
There the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus:
"Bhikkhus, all is burning (āditta). And what, bhikkhus, is the all that is burning? The eye is burning, forms are burning, eye-consciousness is burning, eye-contact is burning, and whatever feeling (vedanā) arises with eye-contact as condition—whether pleasant, or painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant—that too is burning. Burning with what? Burning with the fire of lust (rāga), with the fire of hatred, with the fire of delusion; burning with birth, with aging-and-death, with sorrows, with lamentations, with pains, with griefs, with despairs—so I say.
"The ear is burning, sounds are burning … The nose is burning, odours are burning … The tongue is burning, tastes are burning … The body is burning, tangibles are burning … The mind is burning, dhammas are burning, mind-consciousness is burning, mind-contact is burning, and whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition—whether pleasant, or painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant—that too is burning. Burning with what? Burning with the fire of lust, with the fire of hatred, with the fire of delusion; burning with birth, with aging-and-death, with sorrows, with lamentations, with pains, with griefs, with despairs—so I say.
"Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple becomes disenchanted with the eye, disenchanted with forms, disenchanted with eye-consciousness, disenchanted with eye-contact, and disenchanted also with whatever feeling arises with eye-contact as condition—whether pleasant, or painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant.
"He becomes disenchanted with the ear, disenchanted with sounds … disenchanted with the nose, disenchanted with odours … disenchanted with the tongue, disenchanted with tastes … disenchanted with the body, disenchanted with tangibles … disenchanted with the mind, disenchanted with dhammas, disenchanted with mind-consciousness, disenchanted with mind-contact, and disenchanted also with whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition—whether pleasant, or painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant.
"Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate; through dispassion he is liberated; when liberated, there is the knowledge (ñāṇa): 'Liberated.' He understands: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more of this state of being.'"
And while this exposition was being spoken, the minds (citta) of those thousand bhikkhus were liberated from the taints (āsava) through non-clinging.
