sn35.116:8.1 “Reverends, the Buddha gave this brief summary recital, then entered his dwelling without explaining the meaning in detail:
sn35.116:8.2 ‘Mendicants, I say it’s not possible to know or see or reach the end of the world by traveling.
sn35.116:8.3 But I also say there’s no making an end of suffering without reaching the end of the world.’
sn35.116:8.4 This is how I understand the detailed meaning of this summary recital.
sn35.116:8.5 Whatever in the world through which you perceive the world and conceive the world
sn35.116:8.6 is called the world in the training of the Noble One.
sn35.116:8.7 And through what in the world do you perceive the world and conceive the world?
sn35.116:8.8 Through the eye in the world you perceive the world and conceive the world.
sn35.116:8.9 Through the ear …
sn35.116:8.10 nose …
sn35.116:8.11 tongue …
sn35.116:8.12 body …
sn35.116:8.13 mind in the world you perceive the world and conceive the world.
sn35.116:8.14 Whatever in the world through which you perceive the world and conceive the world
sn35.116:8.15 is called the world in the training of the Noble One.
sn35.116:8.16 Reverends, the Buddha gave this brief summary, then entered his dwelling without explaining the meaning in detail:
sn35.116:8.17 ‘Mendicants, I say it’s not possible to know or see or reach the end of the world by traveling.
sn35.116:8.18 But I also say there’s no making an end of suffering without reaching the end of the world.’
sn35.116:8.19 That is how I understand the detailed meaning of this summary.
sn35.116:8.20 If you wish, you may go to the Buddha and ask him about this.
sn35.116:8.21 You should remember it in line with the Buddha’s answer.”
